This is kind of a repost of a question I asked the other day. I only chose one forum for it to be seen in and only got one answer. So I am trying it again to see if I can get more people to see it. Anyway...
I have been a member of this site for a few weeks now and really love the high quality technical advice. That being said, I have a proposed computer build I would like to pass by you all. This will be the most expensive build I have done yet and I am really nervous that I missed something or maybe an idea of what could be better for a similar price range. So without further ado....
Purpose - Video editing. Specifically Pinnical 11, nero 8, shrink 3.2, and Adobe CS3.
Components -
= Antec 900 computer case
= NVIDIA nForce 750i FTW SLI mobo
= Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz
= G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) [not sure whether to do 4 or 8 gigs. How big of a performance increase.]
= 2 Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB in raid 0. [has anyone had problems raiding these?]
= Pioneer 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model DVR-115DBK
= OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W Power Supply
= Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB
= MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT
Operating System - Im not sure whether to stay with xp 64-bit or go Vista 64-bit. And if vista, which of the myriad versions?
My current build is based on the E6750, 2 raptor drives in raid 0 and 2 gigs of DDR2 800. I am hoping for a significant performance improvement with this new build. This is my first post so let me know if I missed any crucial information.
