Hey there everyone...I'm looking at the prospect of building a new socket 775 system for general multi-tasking and Nuendo with loads of vst instruments loaded...id like to be able to rip dvds or encode/decode in the background and still use nuendo smoothly. also...id like to have a blatant disregard for system resources when opening windows and programs...also...perhaps a HDTV tuner card...with other programs running...
I'm NOT gaming...not even a little bit...it is of NO concern
-either a pentium D 805 ($155CAD) OR pentium D 930 ($255CAD)
-if an 805, what HS/F for 800fsb action? muahaha
-what motherboard would you suggest? (i like the idea of being able to play cd's with the computer powered off...with those asus boards...is that available in 775?) (ASUS site is down for maintenance...so i dont know)
-could i use generic major brand ram and oc on a divider, or would it be in my best interest to get performance ram?
-id rather use a 7200 rpm drive...raptors still seem a little expensive for my liking...ill probably end up running a maxtor dmax 10 or something to that effect...unless you can make a good recommendation otherwise
money is definitely an issue...i want the best value i can get...and im open to any suggestions. thanks for the help!
