Best hardware for online business?

[processor]

Hi all,

I run a one man on-line business and I want to know the options for upgrading my hardware.

The essence of my query is this..

I HATE to lose valuable precious time.

The amount of time spent waiting for the computer to load applications, to boot up, to hang, etc is unecessarily lost time.

I'm currently running a 1.8ghz AMD Athlon, 256mb, 120gb HD, 17" TFT, I'm not sure what graphics but its onboard, all packaged in a beautiful Shuttle PC case.

So my challenge is this..

What hardware would suit the following:

• Absolute minimal hanging and load times for a very busy and furious internet marketer who runs multiple applications at once
  Tries starting up 3 software programs at once often including Dreamweaver and Photoshop
  Does not play any of the latest 3d games so does not need whatever funky hardware is good for that.

Strictly supreme business efficiency.

Thank you.
