    I’ve been a “hobbyist” on and off for a few years and made due with a home grown system. I’m contemplating purchasing a new system that would be used mostly for Premiere, AE and Encore. I’m using the production suite and would like some recommendations on what I should get in a system. I’m on a slightly limited budget, under $2500. What are your recommendations for a aystem to handle AE rendering (Also maybe some HD)?

    I’ll a little more… I recently bought (less than 2 months ago) a Matrox Parhelia p750, thinking it would help me out. Other than the nice dual head display I’m still not sure what I should be looking at purchasing for 1) Dual Head display and 2)Faster render times, editing and encoding.

    I’m working with a P4 1.8ghz and 1gb ram. I’d like to reuse as much of my existing hardware if possible, but willing to put some $$ into the video cards first.

    thanks in advance for the help

    Hi Jeff,

    I use the same sw as you do. I recently bought a Dell Prec 390 with Intel Dual Core 2 Extreme processor and 2GB RAM. I got it with the nVidia Quadro FX 3450 graphics card and two internal HDD. My configuration costs $3600 and I am very happy with it but I think you can configure it for $2,500.

    Good luck.
