    Posted by O0matt0o on September 14, 2007 at 12:40 pm

    I am looking to build/ buy a new system to run PP2 and edit DV. I have an idea what I need but I just wondered if anyone had any specific recommendations. I don’t need anything cutting edge just something that will do the job well.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    The best thing to do is give some kind of ballpark budget or you are going to get fantasy systems.

    Right, my budget isn’t huge in comparison to what most people are used to in this forum, it’s about

    You don’t need a quad core for DV, a 2.4ghz core 2 duo would work fine, if it would make your pricing better, I like to use a 3 disk setup, a small 80gig for OS, Apps and virtual memory, a medium sized one, 160-250gigs for preview files, temp files, audio files, still images, cache files, etc, and a large one, 500-750gig for just video files.

    Thanks for the advice, i’m glad that i was in the right ballpark – better to go over than under on the specs I suppose!!!

    As for the three disk setup, sounds like a great way of doing it although I don’t know how – sure i can figure it out though.

    Thanks again…
