    Hi Misty:

    I don't really know the answer to your question; but since I am in the market for a new PC I was wondering what one you decided on?

    When I get mine I plan to just start with a clean slate; install DS4.9 and redownload everything with DIM. Just start it each night before I go to bed and let it do its work while I'm sleeping.

    I export user data, and stop cms and copy everything to the same directory on the new machine then reimport the user data. It saves me from having to recategorize or reinstall 3rd party content and the maybe 20-40 hours of work I've spent organizing my runtime the way I like it. You may have to reinstall Studio on your new rig.
