Computer Finally Built!!

[Slimothy]

I need to say thanks to all the members, especially Paul (Frizzle Fry) for helping out so much. Below are the specs. I will post some pics soon (Not because you care, but because I'm anxious to show.) I have listed the specs below. I do have one question: If I upgrade to the HVX, what will I have to do/upgrade to be able to handle the footage? Or is my setup not going to cut it either way?

Specs:
ASUS P5LD2 Deluxe Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard
Thermaltake Armor Case
Western Digital Raptor(75 gig) HD
Western Digital 400GB HD
Pentium D Dual Core Processor
Geforce 6800 Video card (looking to upgrade soon)
Creative X-Fi Platinum Sound card
1 Gig Ram (going to add another very soon)


I think that's it.

Pentium D Dual Core Processor....

speed?

Man, I'm still working on mine. It had some sort of bad hardware... I think it was the mobo, so I sent it back to ASUS, and now they're charging me $40. Lame.

Anyway, congrats on the build! I can't wait until I can make the same claim.

[Slimothy]

The processor is 3.0 ghz.

[Justin_Kirch]

i'd get more RAM if you want to have an HVX and run HD footage on there. i'd also upgrade the video card to atleast a geforce 7800gt....that card itself is pretty badass.

[Slimothy]

So more ram is all I'll need? Anybody have any other input as to what I might need to be able to edit dvcpro hd footage?

[Frizzle Fry]

Yo Slim, glad everything worked out for you! As for editing DVCPRO-HD, you'd do well to add another gig of RAM. But I wouldn't add any more than that due to the law of diminishing returns. And I'm not sure how well the whole Vegas+Raylight deal works. As I understand, it's quite processor-intensive...and storage intensive. Don't do it now, but you'll be looking for more hard drive space fairly soon after you begin your HVX adventures.

[David Jimerson]

If you're using Vegas (or most others, for that matter), the video card's got nothing to do with HD performance.

[Larry Rutledge]

What about Canopus...it sounds like it does HD well on a PC. Does it use the Video Card?

[imgentertainment@mac]

More Ram you will find that is going to make a big difference in HD. and another 400+ hard drive. Thats just me

[Slimothy]

Thanks guys. So do you think I'll just need 1 more gig of ram? Tim.

[Brandon Rice]

The processor is 3.0 ghz.

NICE!

[Slimothy]

Yea, the computer looks/runs pretty killer. I wanna give another thanks to Frizzle fry for walking me through it. You da' man.
