I'm looking for core 2 duo, perhaps two of them, using cheaper DDR2 memory (FB-dimm is stupid expensive).
4GB minimum, preferably upgradable to 32gb (16 or 64 is fine too).
Sata raid-1 (probably two 500gb sata drives)
Decent on board video or cheap nvidia that can handle 1920x1080@60hz ouput (VC1,h.264,mpeg-4).
DTS output (toslink or copper) to my surround system
Maybe some overclock but nothing hardcore.
Will be doing photo processing so i'd like to start with 8GB of ram but maybe 4gb possible.
NO O/S (i have my own copies of vista/XP PRO/Linux to use)
Is this combo even reasonable? Seems silly to have to go AMD since alot of PSHOP speed is lost.
Anyone care to give me a breakdown (or know a place that sells this package)?
