What PC specs do you advice for some movie editing?

Hi,

I wanna buy a new PC, with RAID controllers and such, because I'm as scared as hell one HDD will crash one day:-)

I like to do some movie editing as well, I'm not a real pro(yet) but I like it...

So I want a PC that is great for office work, but as well for some easy movie editing.(DV movie tapes--->nice avi's,mpegs)

What do you advice me? AMD or INTEL? And dual? or is single processor enough? 1GB ram? Videocard important?

Thnx

Andre

I have p4 1.6 with 512 mb ram, and I do ok. I'd suspect the more ram the better, also a big-ass hd.

do you want dedicated movie boardsets to do the encoding, or just use the CPU power.
Most movieboardsets are optimised for Intel CPU's (I dont like it but thats the way it is) so Intell is a MUST if you want dedicated hardware encoding.

If you just run standart CPU encoding, I would Buy a Dual CPU TYAN motherboard ("Tiger" series) and use AMD Cpu's they preform the best.

If you still want to go with Intell, I would spend the extra cash and buy Xeon Cpu's

Take a look at www.digitalvideoediting.com they have some test of lowend systems as well

Go with dual Xeons, movie editing is processor intensive, and most editing software is often optimized for dual processors. 1GB of memory should be plenty.
