Need recommendations for hardware for Video Editing rig.
Current Parts:
e6550
2X 1 gig Crucial DDR2 667
approx 800gb of space
7800gs AGP
asrock 4coreduel sata2
audigy 2 zs platinum pro
generic dvd+rw drive
This rig is being handed down to my brother who is big into the arts and video production. Looking to do a few last upgrades to make it better suited to his needs. hoping to keep the budget of the upgrade ~200USD, 300 at the most. Was considering new mobo, video card, and RW drive. So i need a mother board that supports ddr2 667 and 1333FSB. Also need recommendations on the card. Equal to or more powerful than the 7800gs, more suited to video editing [basically goring from AGP to PCIe so as to have more options for 1333 mobo]. Also any other recommendations for upgrades.
