that wud be too hyped and expensive bro..

they are just starting a local video anchorship about lifestyle and marketing

well XP is limited to 3GB..... that is a limiting factor.....

That won't be a problem with a 64bit OS....

More ram is better.... especially for video editing..... since all the images can be moved to the ram..... making processing faster...


RAM is cheap....

but the problem with 64bit os is that ..not too much apps around.

basaha lang.... For your additional information....... MAC PRO is "THE" RIG

"Meet Mac Pro. It's the fastest Mac ever with advanced 8-core performance......"

Processing
* 8-core: Two 2.8GHz, 3.0GHz, or 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 series processors
* Quad-core: One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5400 series processor
* Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture
o 12MB of L2 cache per processor (each pair of cores shares 6MB)
o 128-bit SSE4 SIMD engine
o 64-bit data paths and registers
o Energy efficiency optimization
* 1600MHz, 64-bit dual independent frontside buses

Memory

* 800MHz DDR2 ECC fully buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) memory
* Eight FB-DIMM slots on two memory riser cards (four slots per card) supporting up to 32GB of main memory
* 256-bit-wide memory architecture

Again those only with money to burn..... Since Imac was mentioned as overhyped.... wait till they see a mac pro....

need I say more....

I understand your minor point for recommending the mac pro, but you can assemble a similar spec'ed PC for a fraction of the cost, ofcourse availability of the board might prove difficult.
But i see your point.

Still the Intel platform is a far better / faster choice for the price point.

All Macs are intel based.....

You can actually just follow the specs of the MAC if you want

My take on yoru specs: Board isnt that important, you can go lower pa if you want as long as naay built in raid.

Proc is ok.
Mem go with 2x2G or 4x2 the more the merrier (max out your board limit if budget permits)
Hard drive for OS go with 80x80 lang in raid 0 since OS and aps raman, then change to 1 terrabyte or two 500's, believe me you will need it
If you can afford one, a good solid state drive for your OS
Video Card, well there are many Video editing cards out there, Matrox, Leadtek Video Editing edition cards but are very pricey. So I would recommend the HD3850 instead of the 2600xt. It will help you on your video playback.
Get a good power supply, last thing you need is a breakdown in the middle of rendering due to fluctuation.
OF course, go dual on your monitor ;-D

1 x Mars 337 / 834 A4 K/M 500w all colors CASING 1610.00

bro, change your PSU to 600watts

[stealthghost]

better buy 150GB 10K RPM Raptor HDD for OS and some applications.. and P35 boards are better..



and matod pa ni sir Ryan, 1 Terrabyte HDD.. since video editing will consume so much space and memory also..

Yes i know thanks for stating the obvious captain.

And i know you understand what i ment when i said Intel platform.

well XP is limited to 3GB..... that is a limiting factor.....

[muzikfreakah]

oh and lastly, if your spending for a 40k unit, get a decent casing to house it If you will be taking your videos around with you a lot, I would recommend the silverstone Kl01 or Kl02 with a hot swap sata bay and hard drive cage built in Thats just a suggestion lang

And like stealthghost said, raptor on raid is like your HD on steroids

i think enough nmn cgro ng 2gig nga raM....gi dual channel pjd...sa akong mga kaila nga naay rig nga pang vid.ed. ky 2 gig rmn ila ram....nya ok na au na...bsag adobe premiere pa ila gamiton...samot na ang vegas ky porting gaana ana...naa ko fren nga editor nga iya rig ky P4 pa gani....p4 3.0ghz nya 1.5gb ang ram...nya wala na cya reklamo ing edit...ang problema ramn cgro ana ky ang pg render...it will take long hours bsta bati ug processor or widout d matrox nga v-card...
