Stuart: I run Nikon Capture on a 3GHz P4 with 1.5 GB RAM and it has no problem with D70 images, but for D200 images, it is sometimes slow. I think a 2GHz AMD Athlon would give similar performance. I think you will need at least 1GB RAM but 2GB is better. Check out reviews in PCW magazine etc.
If you get a Hyperthreaded Pentium, make sure you get Windows XP Pro, as the non-pro version cannot use Hyperthreading.
