We have plenty of spare XP pro discs so no operating system needed.
Thanks Irishmark - greetings from guinnessland
. was thinking of the premium MOBO rather than the delux as it has the heat pipe rather than the northbridge fan.
dual gfx card capability - a must for any serious compositor or animator. |
Hadn't considered SLI always thought it was a gaming gimmick, so are there any links to info on this? or is it from experience? I thought that the programs listed use the Processor and RAM and not the GFX. after effects open GL being the exception - but I always turned this off as I lost lots of effects layers.
Also I see from your sig you went for a raid array for start-up - does this speed up your applications? looking at RAID for the first time as we will be backing up to a server so not so worried bout failures.
on the RAM - was thinking of maybe 2x1GB sticks to do a medium overclock on the processor. 4x512 and def. 4x1GB make this more unlikely.
now thinking of putting a matrox parhelia in the one with the 2005FPWs and getting a 2nd hand broadcast monitor
