I'm making a new PC just for editing AVCHD and uncompressed HD (Intensity). Here's my shopping list so far:
1. Quad-core intel 3Ghz
2. 4 GB ram
3. Sata 160GB boot drive
4. Sata 4 disk RAID 2TB
5. nVidia 8800GT (CUDA)
Windows 7 64bit
Premiere CS4 (CUDA acceleration)
Question:
a. How stable is CS4 in Win7?
b. Is CUDA (or other GPU acceleration) all its cracked up to be? I'm aiming for realtime transcoding...
c. Do systems with discrete audio and video cards work better than motherboards with intergrated?
d. Are there brands of boards and cards to avoid? I'm eyeballing a Gigabyte mobo, and their 8800GT. For sound: m-audio or SoundBlaster...
