I am building a machine that will be primarily used to compress video, i.e. wmv, xvid, divx, mpeg2 formats. What is the best setup to get for speedy compression? I am considering a DFI nForce4 Ultra MB, 1 or 2 GB OCZ EL PC4000 VX Gold, Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Retail, XFX GeForce 6800GT 256-MB PCI Express, OCZ Power Stream 520W, and a couple of Western Digital Raptor 74GB's. PLease let me emphasize that this will not be a games machine, it will be used in a business setting for this task. I can do a little overclocking, but the machine must be stable, so I will not be pushing it anywhere close to the limits here.
One of the questions I have is which will be better, a dual core processor like the Athlon 64 X2 4600+, or a an Athlon 64 FX processor, such as a AMD Athlon 64 FX55 San Diego Processor? (I can't see spending more than $800 on the CPU for this rig.) Is Intel even worth considering for this?
Please help out with suggestions for all the components to build the best video compression system.
Thanks.
