Hello everyone
I am going to buy the parts and build a computer at home for video editing, moderate gaming and the usual run of the mill stuff. At the moment I am thinking of the following setup:
-Pentium 4 3.4 or 3.2 GHZ HT processor 775 socket (sorry, no extreme edition or AMD for me)
-Maxtor 120 GB 8mb cache OS/application drive SATA 150
Maxtor 200 GB 8mb cache video/audio drive SATA 150
(possible 2nd 200 GB drive @ RAID 0)
-1 or 2 GB ram (undecided at the moment)
-DVD +- writer (I have an NEC at work so I am going to get something different at home just to cover all of bases)
-Creative Sound Blaster Audigy II ZS
-LCD monitor
-Video card - this is the area in which I am least knowledgable. I am not into any heaving duty gaming, so I don't need a $500 card. Something with a dual monitor/TV out is more important to me than being able to handle the newest generation of games. Any suggestions here would be welcome.
The editing I do is on Adobe software-Premiere Pro/Audition/Encore if that makes a difference
Thanks for the help,
PTN
