Hi,

I spend a lot of time working with Stata, handling sometimes medium to large datasets (4-100Go). I am about to buy a new desktop PC. I would like to know what are the important characteristics to optimise Stata performances. Is there anyone that could:
1) recommend their top 3 choices for desktop computer (already built, ready to buy on Amazon, Best Buy etc)
2) the characteristics I should Care about

thanks a lot in advance!

ps: I am located in the US (in case you want to give me specific store recommendations)
