Hi John.

>>If I had to build a new PC today, I would use nothing less than the Intel Core i7-920 8MB cache @ 2.66 GHz. These new Core i7’s process video faster than my Quad Extreme at the same speed and I’m guessing a lot faster than an AMD at 2.3Ghz. If you were using HDV I’d say maybe but for AVCHD you want a faster processor.

I am curious to know why you said earlier that more RAM would not help. As comparatively inexpensive as RAM is, don’t we want as much RAM as we can get? And won’t more RAM help the processor complete its tasks (especially easing the load for the swap file)?

Also, in an earlier post you said you were not altogether sure but that the hyperthreading of the Core i7 hyperthreading might not be the cause of some instabilities. Have I misread, or did I perhaps misunderstand you? Or does it seem to you now that hyperthreading and ‘virtual cores’ is not the problem that it once may have seemed?

>>The PC has also got Avid installed on it, I seem to remember reading somewhere that both have problems co-existing.

Are there known incompatibility issues between Vegas and Avid?

Lee, I apologize. I don’t know how you can do it that cheap.

If you really need to, you might sell your laptop in order to come up with the cash. I would think that the minimum you would need would be at least 750 pounds.

Please follow the specs outlined on John Rofrano’s website closely.

And yes, HD requires a lot of resources.

I wish I could be more help than that.

So I can modify them in another application, such as After Effects or Photoshop, and then send them back?

OK, sounds like I’ll be nesting then. Thanks.

>>You wouldn’t want to “heal” a split where a segment was cut out!

Please forgive my ignorance: why is that?

>>to fix issue ive bought on a 7 day trial a dell studio 540 tower

>>i really dont understand what the damn problem is….

>>any help.

Lee, part of your problem is Dell. John Rofrano specified that Dell parts are inferior.

Ditch the Dell. Get an HP workstation (not desktop: workstation) or an IBuyPower rig.

Hope that helps.

Hi Ralph.

Have fun in the Baltics.

I will try to sign up when I get more into using Photoshop.

I hope you are well.

OK, so I can use it to transfer files to Premiere, when it comes time for that.

Thanks.
