New CPU and Production Studio
I’m looking to get a new CPU. The Gateway E-6610D SB seems to be a good deal.
I am only using this CPU with DV footage. I am really going to be using the Dynamic link between AE7 and PP2 feature alot. What type of limitation would I have with this system? I do plan on getting more hard drives and a more powerful graphics card later. This is what I want to get now. I have 1 more question. Is there a real difference between 2.4 duo core and the 2.66 duo core besides the price?Here are the specs:
Operating System: Microsoft

I am using Prod Studio with a much lower spec system than what you describe..I work in uncompressed SD and the system copes just fine. If you’re mainly dealing in Standard Def DV then you should blister through with that setup I’d say.
Only thing I’d suggest is to setup a RAID-0 on your media drives to keep data read/write fast, but with DV you probs don’t need to worry too much about that. I guess certain processors/GPUs will allow more realtime effects and transitions than others in Premiere, but most of that info will be on the adobe site. I don’t really use Premiere that much at the mo, so can’t be sure.

I’d seriously change the disk setup. The one included doesn’t sound too exciting and while it may cope with DV just fine, you should at least have it separate from your system drive to make full use of the limited I/O speed. If Windows is using the same physical disk for swap and as boot drive, it will chew up some not so minor part from the performance. Having separate partitions doesn’t change that, so I’d advise you to get another system drive, which can be the cheapest disk you can find, and keep the other drive exclusively for video and other data.

OK. I do have a cpu 2.99ghz with HT, a 80GB hard drive and 1.25GB. I plan to use that for the time being as a secondary. Then get another hard drive. So Mylenium, you think my setup will run smoothly if I get the seperate hard drives?
