It may also be useful to reduce the number of undo levels, to gain more memory.

As for what computer is best for Blender, I find that a laptop with a good graphics card helps a lot. But most laptop with decent graphics card is usually in the 1000 usd range. Another option is to get a nvidia ion based netbook (hp311, asus 1201, etc). Sure the Atom processo will be slow for rendering, but the interface performance will be amazing.
