John,
I would take a look at some of the benchmarks at Tom’s Hardware, https://www.tomshardware.com.
I am quite satisfied with my i7 920. There seems to be a concensus that Vegas works better with an Intel/Nvidia combination. But others like AMD’s offerings.
If I were building today I would choose another i7.

John,
Set Auto-Ripple to “All Tracks, Markers, and Regions.” then make sure it’s turned on. This will drag all affected keyframes for track motion with the event you move (along with later events).

There is something to it. I wouldn’t put a percent on it. It depends on your mobo architecture, OS, and which codec is in question. Most MPG-2 codecs get hyper-threading right. I would be willing to bet that all the AVC codecs score well with hyper-threading enabled.
Here is an older article that lays it out well:

Frederic,
I would like to give it a test.

It looks quite useful.

If you have renered them to Blu-ray specs (sounds like you did) then maybe your project settings are wrong in DVDA. (Verify blu-ray template) and set re-compress = no on the video and audio.
Hope it works,

* Motherboard – X58 chipset with 1366 socket (I like ASUS)
* CPU / Processor – i7 Bloomfield
* Sound Card – (I use on board)
* Video Card NVIDIA GTX Series (I have 2 GTX260’s) attached to these are 2 23″ 1920×1080 ASUS monitors, they are very good on color.
* Ram – an even number divisible by 3. Ram comes in 1,2,and 4 GBs per module. I have 12 (6 x 2GB)
* Harddrive speed and type I have a 60GB SSD for my system drive – It is very fast. If you can afford it. I recommend at least 1 secondary drive and mine are 1-1.5 TB. 7200 rpm, 32MB cache.
* is one Blu-Ray drive better then another? – idk
* case – get one with plenty of fanage!
* any other recommendations – Depending on how many of the video cards you get and how much RAM, you will need from 600-750 watts of power, go for more power, this is where some systems choke.
* you must keep this processor cool. The stock coolers that ship with the i7 do not do a good enough job. Check out: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/heatsink-heatpipe-cpu,2375.html
* I have a esata desktop hard drive slot that I swap project disks into. These are great for archiving to inexpensive drives.
For me a great system is a nice balance of price vs. performance. I do not overclock my systems because usually the throughput is not worth the risk.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

Chuck,
After my clean install of Windows 7 and installation of programs (i.e. virus, firewall, Photoshop, Vegas, etc…), I made an image of my C: drive. That way I could get back to ‘square 1’ in 20 minutes instead of hours. At this point you could ‘let a few updates’ in, keeping track of which ones, then test out Vegas, if Vegas fails, back up a step and skip that group of updates. You may be able to undo a specific update or use system restore to step backwards. Happy hunting.
No, I don’t think this is an i7 issue.
I have been running 10a for two weeks, it is rock solid.

Yes I have had problems when I initially installed Vegas 9. I posted the way I fixed it and what the cause was. PM me if you’re interested.

I am thoroughly impressed with 10a, (I was at 9e.)
I can’t wait to have a need for 3d to make use of it. I selected the Seminar series as my free upgrade. Considering I had most of the other choices it was the best option. I learned a lot about the new features and it was very thorough on 3d.
I do a lot of MP4 and think the render times are excellent. I have not benchmarked it but I think twin GTX 260’s help out a lot.
It’s been installed about a week and no crashes yet.
