Things I still need are…

What are thoughts on the above items…I guess i’ts all compatible?
Any suggestions on the Case/Tower and Hard Drives?
What else am I forgetting for the tower?

What are your thoughts on the Intel i7 systems (920 or 940) vs the Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme.

Thanks

The problem that I’m having is very slow jumpy play back in the video preview with avchd. Adding more memory will improve the frames per second?

Thanks again for your help.
