Welcome lurker-Christopher.

Intel i7-2600K CPU’s offer good bang for buck value, as do AMD X6 1100 series CPU’s. The current i7’s are pricey in comparison. Both these CPU’s are in limited supply where I live.

A 64 bit Windows operating system coupled with Vegas x64 with anywhere between 12 and 24 GB of RAM wouldn’t hurt, although we would need to understand what media you intend to encode. You also need to check what plug-ins you intend to use as not all have 64 bit support. For DV, most dual core CPU’s with modest RAM requirements and a 32 bit operating system will suffice, but once you start getting into AVCHD, the gruntier the machine the better. I also edit using Vasst Ultimate S multicam, and once enabled, can drastically impact screen refresh rates. Even on my i7-920, I have to edit in preview mode because of preview lag. Hopefully the i7-970 I have on order now will alleviate this… .

You should consider getting at least 2 HDD’s, one for you o/s and the other for Vegas projects. I run 5 HDD’s: 1 for O/S, 2 mirrored RAID 1 for my projects and 2 in a RAID 0 configuration for my output.

An external USB 3.0 or eSATA drive for backups is also handy to have, but your motherboard would need to support it. I have an ASUS motherboard, and Gigabyte make some pretty decent boards.

If you are rendering Sony AVC, a good video card such as an NVidia 570 is a must have.

For $3K, you should be able to get a pretty decent system. You didn’t mention whether you needed a monitor.

Canon Pixma ip4600, but it only prints up to A4. I use CD label print software that comes with the printer and have my own paper preset to allow printing to the hub.

Does track order make a difference? Is that Dean’s problem? It’s been over a year since I green screened… .

You can install it on 2 computers but can only use one copy at a time. V9 allowed network rendering (i.e. multiple computers), but that ceased with v10.

It should entitle you to 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Note, it does not include DVD Architect

Yes, unfortunately Windows has an annoying feature called automatic updates which I believe is enabled by default, meaning that driver updates can happen silently. I had an issue with Nvidia chipset drivers a while back. I now manually review the updates and selectively install what I need. If stability issues arise, I at least have a starting point to work from.

Patience, grasshopper. We are all volunteer contributors to this forum. Before we can assist, we need more information:

Your PC specs (as suggested by Mike)

Knowing what version of Vegas you are using is always helpful.

Have you installed any CODEC packs?

What format is your source media in?

What are your project template properties?

Are you using 3rd party graphics plugins, if so, which ones?

They have probably outsourced their call centre to a 3rd world country lol!

I use Nero as it allows me to burn to multiple drives simultaneously. Not quite 10 drives though, just 3… .

I gather that none of the suggested fixes in your earlier post worked.
