Here is a question for the computer geer-heads (or gamers) out there:
Redfish has been been working on yet-another-multi-touch-light-table
project for Agent-Based-Models (or YAMTLiT for ABMs). We have
finally gotten within reach of a fully working prototype.
We need a nice dual-core or core duo computer dedicated to the
table. It needs to punch for the machine vision part -- but would be
extra special if it could run a decent model visualization at the
same time.
But we want to do it in such a way as that the table remains
affordable -- what would people suggest for around $500-600 in the
way of a bare bones computer with a decent graphics card? Is it
possible?
I have been happily ensconced in mac-believe-land and haven't really
been keeping track with PC architecture -- however my 'ancient' 2 ghz
intel core duo macbook pro does well enough for our purposes. It
could use a little extra punch for the machine vision/model combo.
Anyone know what a desktop PC equivalent would look like?
