FEEDBACK on VIDEO EDITING computer specs!! :- D
 

Fujitsu Simens got some great offers over here now one of them is this comp SCALEO XI 2530 for about $1200.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz
Mobo: nVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra
Memory: 3GB DDR II SDRAM 667 MHz PC2-5300
Harddrive: 2 x 500GB Serial ATA-300 7200rpm 16mb cache
Graphic: MSI Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS 640 MB
Firewire: 1
USB: 4


What do you guys think about the specs? Is it suitable for video editing? Ohh yeah also been thinking on maybe adding one of those Western Digital SATA 10 000 RPM drives with 16mb cache to put the OS on.


Here is a pic. Yeah the blue holes are ugly but you can't get it all can you :upsidedow .

Anybody? :helpme

That is a good processor. I just ordered the same one on NewEgg for my newest video editing and video encoding machine. You don't need two internal hard drives, though, just one for the system drive. You can keep your video files on multiple external firewire drives.

What type of power supply does it have? They tend to go cheap on that for some reason.

mine looks almost the same. I use it for video editing/encoding too.

Yeah a lot of people has been recommending that processor and it seems to be a real bad ass.

Yeah that's what I'm doing I'm storing all my video on my NAS boxes.

You should have the RAM replaced from [DDR II 667/5300 MB/s] to [DDR II 800/6400 MB/s] for any CPU speed above 2GHz.. IMO

If that option isn't given, get a deal with less RAM and replace it yourself,
it'll be worth it if You'll be doing a lot of video editing :thumbsup

Yeah I have been thinking about replacing the RAM since it's a little crappy compared to the other specs.

We'll see how it does in a few days when it arrives. :thumbsup
