Hello all,

Newly introduced to digital drawing and Krita (LOVE it), bought the tutorial DVD, learned some new tricks. I have a few suggestions on improving the DVD but that's another topic. I'm currently using an old laptop and I notice lag in quite a few places. I'm looking too build a box just for Krita and was wondering what are the better specs, without going $$ crazy?

Does Krita support multiple cores or only one core?
Can it handle hyper-threading?
I read in another thread that CPU is more important than graphics card for Krita? Any recommendations?
Memory usage?

Thanks!

In order:

* RAM, all the RAM. Krita is a data-shuffling application, so give it ram to shuffle data on.
* Krita does use multi-threading in places(transforming multiple layers at once for example). In my experience in can handle hyper-threading just fine.
* Yes, for the graphics card any mid-range graphics card will be fine. I have a GTX 280 at home it's doing fine on.

I am not very into the current hardware scene, but I hope these answers help.

Thanks so much!!

Any thoughts on processor speed?
