Mac or PC?
If you are thinking LW and have the bucks, get an ALpha 275 MHz or 330 Mhz
workstation. They beat the competition hands down in bang for buck and raw
speed. 128 bit bus to memory, 64 bit internal, two/four instructions per cycle
with up to 2 meg cache. One Alpha is about the speed of 2 Mips R4400 but about
1/2 the price. And, there are several Alpha vendors that bundle it with NT so
you don't have the price or work overhead of Unix knock-offs.
BTW, the Alpha native version of LW is supposed to be available in about a
month.
