I had similar questions when I bought my new computer with no responses.
It may be good to declare a test suite, that we could publish our
performances so we can all start building up an idea of what is good for
new PC's..

Greetings Cinelerra users!
I have been experimenting around with Cinelerra for about a year now
on a wimpy athlon 1.3 ghz machine. I have grown very fond of the
software, and I feel like I have a good enough grasp of it to justify
some new equipment purchases. Though I am still very much a newbie to
video, I do have experience with underlying concepts from audio
editing, and graphic design.
I read through the archives and noticed a few HD threads that gave me
some hints, but I wanted to start a quick thread about the setup that
I am considering. Hopefully, I can get some insight and avoid any
pitfalls with the advice of you all.
I am really interested in the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD1A. It fits my
budget, and some of the extra features seem like they would be of
great use. This would put 720p HD (as well as 640x480) source in my
hands in mpeg4 format.
I don't have a huge budget for an editing machine, so I am aiming to
get a reasonable performance quality of out the cheapest solution. I
was considering a dual core athlon64. Is this adequate? I do have
several athlon boxes, and one athlon 64 lying around for render farm
use once edits are complete.
Questions for the group... Do you see any problems with connectivity
between this setup and cinelerra? Is there a better price/performance
solution for my editing machine? Any other advice you can offer me?
Thanks!
