Ok, in my earlier thread I asked about using a laptop for editing and you guys convinced me that was not the way to go. Now I'm trying to configure a system for a desktop.

I have Premiere Pro 1.5 and have been using it on another computer. I believe the firewire port is part of the video card, but I can't recall what the card was.

I have been reading about real-time video editing cards in this forum and wonder if that is something i should be thinking about.

Here is what I have selected so far:

Asus P5 GDI
P4 540
1 Gig DDR400 (or maybe a dual channel?)
2 x 250G SATA hard drives (running with RAID)
16X DVD ROM
NEC 352OA Burner (16X)
Nvidea G Force 6800
Windows XP Home

Will this work? I don't think anything here has a firewire port. I do have cheap firewire card I bought some time ago and never used...

Appreciate the advice. Thanks!

Nora
