Thanks for your response, Harm Millaard

But how about windows XP Prof on Intel Dual Core instead of Pentium D?
Should I go with Conroe or Pentium D (Price/performance)

Thanks for your great advice luke,

I haven’t buy the Declink yet, still undecided which one to choose.
Im going to work on post production for a TV program recorded on Digital Betacam, and I understand that the best is to capture it via SDI instead of component, however is there any noticable different for video quality between component and SDI? because im working on a quite tight budget post production and i was thinking that the DL SP should be fine in terms of quality for the capturing device from the Digital Beta deck.
Few more questions:
1. Is it safe to use onboard Sata Raid becase I heard from my friend that they face a problem of harddisk crash or error due to Raid of harddisks for their editing system.
And whats the size of Sata Harddisk you recommend to be raid? is it 250gb x 4unit or 320gb x 2unit? which one is perform better for the video drive?

2. For the Operating System (WinXP Pro) Is there any suggestion for me? better IDE or SATA for the local drive to be work with the DL SP

Thanks Again… and Bravo for your support. 🙂
