I read on the videoguys website that the best memory-processor relationship to establish is best when the memory speed is 1/2 the speed of the processor, i.e. 800mHz FSB processor, 400mHz memory speed. I haven't found anything that supports that claim, so does anyone know how to answer this question? If it's true, does it make THAT much of a difference? I am buying a Dell PC for editing with Vegas, Sound Forge 8, and Acid Pro 5, also using magic bullet 2.0 and magic bullet HD plug in. It's the last thing I need to clarify before clicking that mouse. Thanks.

It makes a diff. A huge diff? No. Plan on Magic Bullet ALWAYS being slow with Vegas, until Vegas takes advantage of some of the hardware being found on vid cards that Magic Bullet just recently started working with.
Hard drives....how serious do you want to be?
RAID? just a multidrive setup?
Two drives MINIMUM, period. More is better. More than 3, you might as well build a SATA RAID.

There is nothing inherently right about the memory to processor speed comment. If you somehow found a processor with an fsb of 666 mhz, you won't be better off with pc2700 ram at 333 mhz rather than the popular pc3200 ram at 400 mhz.
Right now buy the fastest ram possible. It's not that much expensive too. You don't necessarily need extremely high quality ram because you don't need the low latency from you ram that gamers do.
I'd recommend everyone who likes vegas to look into the new AMD X2 dual processor cores. They blaze with Vegas which is now optimized to use dual core. Any advantage that Intel had in rendering times has effectively been erased. I'm gonna buy my own probably around next summer when the prices should drop a bit.
Also buy a lot of hard drives and hard drive space. Working with video you can never have enough, unless you are used to using tape to store footage. Settle for nothing less than 8mb cache and 7200 rpm. Any brand is fine. If you have the money go for the Western Digital Raptors, which run at 10 K rpm. Ahh...the hard drive of my dreams.
