Advice on audio & video editing
Hi there,
I am about to buy a new pc, the main things I want to do is audio and video editing.
I was thinking creative x-fi platinum sound card (as this gives me the front panel where I can plug my audio (guitar), hi-fi, and midi)
Graphics card .. I used to have an aiw 9600 which was ok, but when capturing vhs the audio sometimes went out of sync .. can you recommend anything here?
Apart from that, I was thinking of 500mb hard disk (maybe x 2 to do hardware mirror?) and 2gb ram and a dual core processor?
Cheers, Roger

Yes, I should have mentioned HARDWARE for RAID, not software. :)
Also to clarify on the quad-channel memory - that's a motherboard feature. The memory sticks aren't quad-channel by themselves...

Sorry for delay in replying, and thanks for your help!
Well, we got my buddy the PCI card for his Digi 001 rig from eBay for xmas - once he gets it installed I'll post back on how well it works (if at all ;-)

Also, the RAID0 (striping) is the fastest solution for storage, but does NOT protect your data (no mirror), whereas the RAID1+0 is mirrored striping (4 drives).
