I'm using a dual core Athlon 64 4400+ and it's just great for 3D work.
I also heard that Intel core duo2 is even better so you can safely choose it.

I have an Athlon 64 6000 + and then I was not enough. To select a computer for 3D graphics, the question is only in money, the more expensive the better.

I have a core 2 duo and it's ok.how much money do you have?look at intel core i7.do you make big renders?(if not you don't need to buy an expensive pc...components)

for the 3rd time this site has blocked my message because I mentioned a website. fr### grrrr...

get at least 4 GB of Ram, which means you have to use 64-bit Windows Vista or 64-bit Windows 7 in order to recognize that much memory. 32-bit Windows XP cannot recognize a full 4 GB of memory.

Get a Dual core processor 3.0Ghz+ as opposed to a slower speed quad core. It is like winning a race with 2 Fast cars as opposed to 4 slower cars.

Then buy a video card that has at least 512MB of memory.

Good luck.
