    Processor Intel P4-3.4 875PE


    Video Card Dual Monitor + TV out Matrox Millennium P750


    Dual Monitors ViewSonic VP191b x2

              SATA definitly owns ...

              And for ram I would consider dual channel . Speed matters a lot when editting from what Ive noticed .

              I got almost the system you are talking about except its 4 months old

                  Hmm.. I can put a machine together, but as for choosing the components, I'm not the greatest at it.

                  But I'd have to say that I certainly wouldn't mind owning a system like that

                      I definately want dual channel.....I must have overlooked that.

                      Thanks.

                          I just got this SOYO Dragon motherboard with looks like similar specs to that Asus. I like the SOYO coz it has the SATA plus 4 IDA/RAID connectors so I can hook up a shitload of drives to it.

                              I have 2 of the same monitors running on the Matrox P650, they are flawless.

                                      only thing about the monitors, you might want to consider buying their dual display stand... the feet take up a bit of space.

                                          So does the Asus plus I will be adding another IDE controller card. My current video system has multiple drives but nothing like what the new one will have.

                                                              IMHO...Games should be played on X-Box's and PS2's.....Not on a computer workstation.

                                                              I even uninstalled the games that come with Windows.

I'm still making do with a six month old 2.6 Ghz Dell Dimension 8300 with the 875P chipset, a single 19" monitor and just a gig and a quarter of RAM plus a terrabyte worth of external Maxtor drives hooked into a firewire hub.
