Michael,
Thanks for the feedback. I had 3 drives to start, but I moved it down to just 1 to see what it would cost to get a basics rig up and running. I'll add an additional drive for now and I'm planning on getting a third drive and another 4 gig of RAM for xmas (as I'm going to be using...
Hi Everyone,
I just to give an update and ask another question...
I bought the Antec p182 case. It was bundled with the Antec 850 Quattro PSU for $200, so I figured I would jump on it. I know 850 is probably overkill for me, but I figured why not, the combo deal was pretty good (at least...
heyheybooboo,
Are you sure about Pinnacle not using all the cores? I found this: software such as Photoshop, Pinnacle Studio Plus, QuickTime and 3D Studio Max all greatly benefited from the power of four dedicated cores.
The reason I decided to go with a quad core is because I am...
Hi Smith,
Yes. I was going to use the smaller drive for the OS/Programs etc... The other 2 drives would either be striped or just 2 stand-alone drives. Not really sure how I want to go about that yet. I may just use the other large drive as a backup just in case. I guess it all depends on...
OK... just took a crash course on SLI. I wasn't exacly sure how dual video cards worked, now I do. So, what do you guys recommend for AVCHD video editing? Will a see substantial performance gain with a dual video (SLI) setup? I want to make editing this data as smooth as I can. Would all...
Smithrwon,
Whats your take on my motherboard and dual Video Cards? I'd like to eventually get two video cards in the system. Does my motherboard give me a better chance of doing that? Sorry, not brushed up as I would like to be on Video Cards.
Thanks!
Thanks for the response Smithrwon. Few questions for you:
1. Can you tell me what the difference are between those 2 Motherboards?
2. can you elaborate on the 4850? I'm not sure what you are referring to there.
Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
I could use some feedback for this build I'm thinking about doing. I need to edit AVCHD data with Pinnacle Studio 11. Here is what I am thinking about buying. Could you let me know if there are any potential issues with this build?
On a side note... I already have a...
Thanks Duvie,
I'm going to be putting in 2 more GB of RAM for a total for 3GB, so I think I'll be ok with RAM. Let me know how your trial version runs. Did you find that on the Pinnacle site? I'd like to download it as well and take a test drive.
Hey AgentZap,
Did you ever make the change to the 4200+? How does Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate work with it?
I'm thinking about making the jump myself.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm currently thinking about upgrading to an AMD Athlon? 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ on my s939 board (last upgrade for that machine). I'd like to do some HD video editing with Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate. The Pinnacle website says that an Intel® Core?2 Duo 2.4 GHz or higher is required for...
In the meantime do you think its ok to use the system? Every once in a while I can get it to boot. I guess what I'm saying is, what can a really f'up if it keeps restarting over and over again?
So I got my RMA number from Antec. In order to do a cross shiment you have to give them your credit card information and they will charge your card and reimburse it when they get the old PSU. I guess it takes about a week after they recieve it for the reimburesment to show up.
I'm still I...
