Finally encoded 45mins of video (DV to MPEG2) using 3hrs 10 minutes! Never knew the meaning of a slow PC until now !

Can someone share information as to how long you take to encode from DV to mpeg2 and what CPU you have.
This will give me a feel what level I should go for the best bucks. I don't think I'm ready to buy the best and the latest yet. Looking more for a "sweet spot" with regards to pricing and performance.
