Hi Mike,
Thanks for this detailed list and info. Yeah it
makes me a bit nervous but I was already going
through the system builder routine. He works with
Asus boards so he should recognize most of what
you write. And money shouldn't be a problem
because I'm used to purchasing Apple hardware. I
think I paid $2500 for the current MacBookPro I'm
using and that was without the RAM upgrade to
4GB! So I don't mind spending $1000 or a bit more
on a PC system on which I can edit native h264
files because that's the format I'm shooting in
at the moment. On the Apple I need to convert everything to ProRes first.
Is the system as described by you also suitable
for Photoshop? I assume video work is heavier for
hardware than photowork so it should be ok, right?
Thanks again,
Rieni
