thanks.

DO NOT BUY!

Only buy a PC with an Intel CPU

Getting a mac would be your best bet. If not buy a PC with a core i5 or better, 8 GB of ram and a dedicated video card (no intel HD4000/5000 chips).
and try and get windows 7 if you can or buy a computer with windows 8 and remove it and install windows 7.

Untrue. I have been running Windows 8 with SL 1 for exactly 1 year with Zero issues.

Serato doesn't like windows 8 with some hardware. Some have no problems other have nothing but problems.

Then that should be said. The other way around makes it seems as though there are problems all the time.

all the time; %90 of the time, tomato; tamato

its not really that bad. But to be on the safe side the suggestion being made to people is dont use windows 8 yet.

I only buy machines with AMD processors and no problems so far. It wasn't AMD that had the floating point decimal issue that made a problem for NASA a while back. Anyway, I know they say many people reported problems with them. I just haven't had issues with them and have used AMD for many years.
