After reading loads of info from the net, we kind of figure that we could read on for the rest of our lives, and still won't learn "enough". Time to do some work.
My suggestion to you is to forget about buying anything new right now. Instead, find some cheap used P4 PCs with at least 1GB of RAM. In the US such things can easily be found for ~$150. Then, try loading Rocks (www.rocksclusters.org) and/or Perceus (www.perceus.org/portal/). This will keep you busy for a while and will help you figure out what you're doing. Expect to fail several times while you're learning. This is normal. Once you have more knowledge, and you've tried running the actual program you want to run in the future, then start thinking about the best hardware to get.
