In this day and age what with Video Editing, Music Production and design and rendering of 3D video constructs for various reasons, it doens't hurt to have a fast machine. I have been limping along with a 1 CPU Athlon 4000 for a while now. Finally I have cracked, and I am building a new beast of a machine
 Here is the spec: 2 x 4 Core Xeon 2.33 Processor (yep, 8 cores, count 'em!) Tyan Dual Intel 5100 MB Nvidia Quadro FX570 Graphics Card (not the fastest but supposedly decent for video editing) 4Gb DDR 5300 RAM (Single stick I have 7 further slots ofr expansion) 2 x 320Gb Raid 0 System Disk (Total 640Gb) 2 x 750Gb Raid 0 Data Disk (Total 1.5TB) Cheap LightScribe DVD burner Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit (We'll see how well 64 bit works out ...) I'm hoping this will be a touch faster than my old PC ... First bits just arrived, should have it built by the weekend! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
Live long and prosper ... My Stuff: Electric Guitars : Ibanez Jem7v, Line6 Variax 700, Fender Plus Strat with 57/62 Pickups, Line6 Variax 705 Bass Acoustic Guitars : Taylor 816ce, Martin D-15, Line6 Variax Acoustic 300 Nylon Effects : Line6 Helix, Keeley Modded Boss DS1, Keeley Modded Boss BD2, Keeley 4 knob compressor, Keeley OxBlood Amps : Epiphone Valve Jnr & Head, Cockburn A.C.1, Cockburn A.C.2, Blackstar Club 50 Head & 4x12 Cab |
