Well, NX is a real pig for eating up resources.

What you really need get is a dual Xeon system running on a Supermicro 
motherboard.  A pair of Xeons with 4MB cache each will kick butt and they 
are dirt cheap now.  Get several gigs of RAM and you'll be loving life. 
Even Apple went to Xeon processors because they are so good and perform 
better than anything they ever had.  I'll never use a system that doesn't 
have at least a pair of Xeons in it.
