OK, thank you for yor answers.

But a simple answer in a simple question… Having a good graphic card make the difference to work on a project on After effects better ?
Or having a good procesor and Ram make the difference on After Effect ?
I mean, you obviously need a Video Card, but how important is on AE ?
If u could make a important list on hardware (1-2-3), where the processor, the ram and the video card were be ?

I do have 64 bit on PC
Both machines run AE CS3.
We want to know specicaly if the performance of the PC is better cuz of the video card.
I say Graphic card doesnt really matter on AE. It work great if you card supports Opgl 2.0. no matter the price.
My friend says the Video Card is very important working on project, and thats why PC runs better on AE

Can be the brand, but the ppl reviews is what i dont like.. besides if im going to spend 200-300 dlls for a mobo, i want it to have everything.

So, talking about performance.. is there a huge difference between 800 to 1066 ??

And what do u mean by snuff up ?

Thx Darby and Lyrad, so, as i understand is better for me if i use my Dual Core 2 Quad on 8 GB of ram and 64 bit OS ??

I can do that.. sacrifice the price of video card to buy more ram.

So that better ?

[Carlos Bringas]

Ty for the response.

So, there is not much help for a good video card ?

What makes the preview goes faster ? When i use some effects like Shatter its a pain in da butt. I want that to go away, so, what do u guys recommend ?
