Hardware specifications for avid Turnkey “generic” workstation

[Michael Kammes]

I applaud you for looking into a qualified configuration. All to often, people disregrad thius and just buy what they like, which can cause massive problems.

This is the Avid page with the current specs. Click on the SEE DETAILS link under PC and Mac for a PDF of the current models on both Mac and PC. For PC, I prefer HP over Dell. Better warranty and customer service, IMHO.

Adrenaline is end of lifed – current incarnations of Avid + hardware are with the Mojo DX, Nitris DX, or Matrox MXO2Mini (output only)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply Michael. Appreciate it. I was aware of the web page you sent me, but unfortunately y my budget is short and I can’t afford a qualified hp box. That’s why I’m going to buy the components like mother board, graphics cards, etc, separately.

I’ve got an idea of what works together and what doesn’t but there are small things like the graphics card not having a realc teck sound chip that I need to have into consideration and I’m not sure if I know enough to make a secure purchase. That’s why I’d love t hear form other’s people experiences when using non hp hardware.

Thanks a lot
