Developer Workstation Specs

Hi ranchers,

Could somebody post some hardware suggestions for how to make a desktop system that will run builds lightning fast? I am working on a big thick client project and the build is A) Out of my control and B) Annoyingly slow.

What matters most?
Memory? How much?
HD spin speeds/throughput?
Processor clock speed? # of cores?

I was thinking about a Mac Pro. But also thinking of building my own...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Budget = $2500 to $5000

Thanks!

Tom

For that kind of money it seems to me it can not go wrong and you can have it all.

You can fit it in your budget easily as previous post said.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
