Your opinion for my new hardware

Hi everybody,

I'd like to upgrade my pc system, for editing with Vegas 6 and DVD-A 3. I use Magic Bullet Editors with Vegas and like to upgrade to MBE version 2. I work with PAL 25P material from my DVX100 and mainly use Vegas for straight edits/cuts, fades, color correction, MBE filmlook, titles, 5.1 audiomixing and MPEG2 and AC3 rendering. I'd like to have a smoother workflow during editing. And a faster rendering speed is a 2nd wish. (At the moment I work with a P4 1.9 ghz Dell Dimension system).

What do you think of the following system?
Dell XPS600 with
Intel D840 processor (dualcore 3.2 ghz)
2 GB RAM
320 GB Raid 0 (2x 160)
videocard Nvidia 7800GTX 256MB with DVI
Dell widescreen 24" monitor
DVDROM and DVDRW

This systems looks on the outside on the Precision 670 workstation of Dell, but it's cheaper. The workstations are offered with dual Xeon processors, are those giving a lot more performance with Vegas or is a dualcore processor/system like above good enough?
 
you should go with a athlon64 x2 4800+...much more performance and the chip runs much cooler than the current generation of intel counterpart.

also, you dont need a 7800gtx unless you really game a lot because almost all the rendering is done by the CPU...even so get a 7800GT ...save some $$$ and spend it on the soon to be released dell 30" lcd(3007wfp) :)


here i built something quick for you from velocity micro(very respectable dealer) google them if u dont believe me

The videocard is one of the standard options, it has the advantage of better playback of Magic Bullet film look effects according to the website of Red giant Software.

AMD never really appealed to me, despite of all the good stories. I'd like to stick to the Intel path.

The Dell systems always worked very well for me.

My question is not really about other processors and other suppliers (BTW I live in Europe), it's more like: will this configuration work well for me?
