Hi Guys,
Well I'm looking to get a new computer before Christmas and would love some advice! I'd also be interested in the differences between the G5/G6 apples and dual processor PCs. Do the G5s/G6s run windows or other window based software? Would it be worth it to buy a g5 or 6 to edit and just keep my current pc? - I currently have a 2.5ghz Intel Celeron computer with 566mhz. I live in Toronto Canada, and here is some more information in order to help you to see my situation and give me the best advice.
- I want a system that will flawlessly and very easily edit High Definition video. I have a sony HC3 High Def camcorder. Would like it to be able to handle the load without any issues of slow down, and mabye even use the internet and other programs while the computer captures the video without any slow down at all.
- Don't need a monitor or printer, just the box.
- Would like the computer to be able to easily handle 64-bit programs, as well as Windows Vista with EASE ((if I go PC rather than mac)) ,,, Also not sure if AMD or intel is the way to go.
- Don't normally play games, but wouldn't mind a system that can handle games flawlessly as well IN CASE i decided to buy one...however seeing as I am not a big gamer, I am not looking to spend 5000 for a system good for games but waste that money because I never play them.
- Would like to have ways to play/pause live tv. would be cool..but again, not a deal breaker as I probably wouldn't use it.
- Would like to have a DVD burners that use light scribe ((burns labels onto disc) Not a deal breaker either.
- Would like lots of memory, BIG hard drive (300-500gb), and anything else recommended for HDV editing.

I found one PC at future shop - HP Pavilion Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz Media Center TV Computer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
However to my knowlege it does not support 64bit processing. It is $1399 + tax in Canadian funds.
FINALLY - I keep hearing things like hyperthreading, conroe, 64bit, dual processors ((even quad)), intel core due extreme edition. Woudl like a system that is top of the line at around the $2000 Canadian Fund range give or take.
Also, any direction as to where to buy would be fantastic!
Thank you kindly!!
