CS5 System

Hi,
I'll be upgrading from Adobe CS3 to 5 shortly to avail of the 10% discount being offered at the moment. I'll also need a new system to utilise the 64 bit applications. I was wondering if any Vegas 10pro users are using CS5 and if so what systems they have purchased/constructed to avail of the mercury engine and that work well for both programs?
Thanks
Derm

You realize that Amazon.com has it cheaper than the 10% discount once you account for Adobe's shipping and state tax?

edit....

At least it is with the CS4 to CS5 upgrade. I would assume that maybe if Amazon has a CS3 to CS5 option then it may be similar.

Are you upgrading to ultimate? When I priced the CS4 to CS5 upgrade for myself with that 10% off coupon, the Amazon price with free shipping and no tax was cheaper after you add the tax and shipping that Adobe was charging. If you live in a state where Adobe doesn't charge tax then it would definitely be cheaper to go with Adobe.
