i have been doing research for weeks and keep coming up with different info on what is better.
I am doing video editing and encoding. I put together customers old videos,pictures and what else they want..into a presentation and then burn to DVD. encoding can take 2-3hrs, i need it done alot faster. you'd be surprised how much demand for this there is now.i have work piling up , because im waiting for encoding. i was even thinking of building 2 pc's
I was looking at quad cores (since price drop) , but then i read something on dual xeon for editing. Opteron?
I want as much ram as MB will take, then i find out XP wont let u use more than 4gb ( shows as 3gb) unless your using the 64bit version than u can use 8gb. new DDR3 1333mhz.
Hard drives info is just driving me up the wall. Raptors in RAID0, new 1TB barracudas with 105mb/sec sustained rate in sata 3gbit. Raid0 may fail and u lose it all.
im lookin to spend about $2K on just CPU, MB , RAM and HD's (at least 1TB for data and 1TB for backup)
can i get some REAL suggestions. i dont need video card info, that i know all about and doesnt really impact editing.
