[ULTRAMONKEY-USERS] still moRe: minimal hardware requirements for directors?

[Rick Graves]

Happy new year!

My new year would be happier if my directors were
working.

My next step would be to go with ASUS dual CPU
motherboards running P3's at 733 MHz or so.  

I would appreciate some confirmation that directors
need powerful hardware, in case there is some other
problem I should be looking at.  

What kind of computers are others running directors
on?

Thanks,

Rick
