I would be most grateful for advice on optimal computer specification, and possibly make to run the most demanding modules in R.

Well, R likes lots of memory, so a 64-bit system with say 16Gb RAM and at least two processors would be pretty good. (And is: I've used such a Compaq Alpha system.) For most purposes a dual Athlon or Xeon PC running Linux with at least 1Gb of memory works pretty well.
