Thanks again John.. I will let you know

[Stephen Millet]

yea i am new when it comes to this but the model of computer i built was much cheaper then any hp model that had half the stuff this custom PC has. This PC came out to $1450. And vegas 10 does use a 64 bit program.

All in all im just looking for a solid computer and editing software that will be relevant as technology changes.

(BTW are the HP computers your talking about the z400-800’s, cause i am still browsing what will be the best choice.)

Hey John sorry to bother you im pretty new when it comes to hardware. Will this be a good setup for Vegas Movie studio 10HD Platinum? Thanks again

hey let me know how it goes, as of now im leaning towards getting a custom built PC.(im sure the xps 9100 works fine bc i have talked to several people who have had great success using it with V10)when it comes to the graphics card and vegas 10 im reading that 512 meg should do the trick but around 1024 megs works better.

BTW check out this article I found on chosing the right system for your software.

Wow thank you so much for your help John. You really put everything in perspective for me. I think getting a workstation built for me seems like the best option.

Thanks Again for your help,

Steve
