 My first project.
Yo new to the forums, new to video editing machines also. From what research i did prior to building this machine which is pretty revolutionary as far as my organisation is concerned at least (and with matrox seeing as the chip sets used are not supported but have absolutly no problems with the benchmarks i've run so far)
Basically my setup is as follows.
Motherboard: Tyan K8WE
Chipsets: nForce PRO 2200, nForce PRO 2050, AMD 8131 PCI-X
Processors: 2x AMD 1-2Way Opteron 250 2400MHz 1024 L2 Cache
Memory: 2x 1024 Corsair PC-3200
Graphics: Nvidia Quadro 3400 PCI-Express
Capture: Matrox RT-X 100
Sound: Audidgy 4 Pro
System Drive: Sata Raptor Drive 10krpm
Sratch Drive: Sata II 2x 250gb Western Digital (Raid 0)
Storage Drive: Sata 2x 400gb (Via PCI card) (no raid JBOD)
DVD R-W: Sata Dual Layer Plextor
DVD: Plextor DVD Rom (IDE)
Its a really nice setup from my testing so far with just a few problems, Firstly rendering: Tested it with a few of the matrox heavy hitting effects... With 4 stacked at once it was rendering maybe 2-3 frames per second. I think this is related to the memory and how its been designated. I've already set Adobe Premiere Pro at realtime (on CTRL ALT DEL menu) to make sure that this program takes any priority over any other programs that may be running on the computer at the time.
We've also had a few issues with the use of PCI-X + standard PCI Cards. Our matrox card is running fine and so far so is the sound. However our SATA PCI controller is having a couple of problems.
Aswell as "showing off" the system i was hoping to maybe get a few questions answered aswell, Is it possible to designate certian parts of memory to adobe prem pro specifically. Or even change it so no data can be stored on certian parts of the memory for great legnths of time, hopefully boosting the render rate without having to restart/memory dump.
Any help that can be given would be much appreciated.
Cheers
