AMD newsgroup for motherboards/cpu
I believe you can ask your question right here. You perform video editing so
is this a hobby or do concentrate of heavy professional work like for a business? If your budget has no limits then the FX-51 is what you need as well as the best video card you can purchase. You should beef up to the maximum amount of DDR ram your new system can handle to render images much more quickly and reduce hard drive lag time. The AMD 64 and FX 51 are both great CPUs so either choice is fine as long as the surrounding components are of equal quality. However, I'm just a hobbyist and know a few professionals and this seems to be their choice for home editing. There's really good feedback here in this newsgroup so pay close attention to them. regards B "Gordon Abbot" wrote in message ... I do not want to be OT on this list so is there a newsgroup where I can ask about the best combo of amd motherboard and cpu to build my own system for video editing? I have a 1.2 tbird which, thanks to your help, I understand I can upgrade to 2.4, but after some thought, feel the mb is limited and would rather build my own so it will take advantage of the amd 64 as well as other new tech. Or should I just ask here? GA -- My address is spoofed, so do not reply directly. |

To find out which cpu would be better for video editing you should chack some sites that benchmark these programs. Almost all of them do. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |

Or should I just ask here? GA -- My address is spoofed, so do not reply directly. Thanks- hobbiest but will be transferring loads of 8mm film to dvd so want to do so as quickly as possible. Most of my time will be in real time with the computer capturing the film and converting it to digital (mpeg) format. Then editing, rendering and burning. I would like a fast system that has the capacity for upgrading based on current technology. I keep my computers going for about 5 years before any radical change so am looking for a bit of stability over the first few years. I will be starting almost completely new, so need a case, powersupply, motherboard, video card (looking at the ATI all in wonder for video capture), cpu, the works. I have a 120 gig WD HD, sony dvd burner (but will upgrade that in about 6 months). Want firewire and usb2 and capacity to upgrade, so do not want anything "built in" unless it is upgradeable.
