Hello, i need a really fast and powerfull PC to work with Vegas. I was thinking in spending around $3,5k (including 1 Tb of HDDs).

I think the best to have is a Pc with 2 amd opteron processors. That makes a total of 4 processors working together.

Do you know if vegas will benefit from this? Or it will be as fast as a Pentium D or core duo 2?

And most important. Do you know any online store to ask fot such a configurations?

1- Colfax, BOXX are some vendors who offer this.

There are many vendors who will custom-build you computers... i.e. monarchcomputer.com
also try local computer stores

2-Are you looking for a vendor from Spain?

Have you ever considered the new Mac Pro? It can run Windows XP natively as well as OS X. You get a very solid and fast computer for the money.

((AMD's are getting very powerful now and bang for the buck, theyre prolly as good as the Pentiums
Vegas will work with anything... and i think from memory Vegas can handle up to 4 CPUs (or 2 dual core/HT totally 4... i THINK.. it might jstu be my config which only lets me have up to 4... ) (plus the additional network rendering option... )

Miguel, might I ask what machine you bought? Specially did you end up going the MacPro route with boot camp? Or did you go PC?

Now that macs can boot windows I been thinking of switching.

I have read that Vegas will not perform in the new Mac for now. So going with PC is a lot safer and much more cheaper.

I went for the Core Duo 2.9 Ghz (still waiting for it, meanwhile i have pluged a P4 D), 2 Gb of RAM (which is enough for Vegas), 1 IDE 320 Gb for XP and programs, and x4 400Gb Seagate HDDs in Raid0.

I also got a very good Winfast graphic card with dual DVI (and also HD RGB out, but i dont plan to use it) plugged to a couple of DELL 24" screens.

I dont think you can get something faster right now, and still price is quite interesting.
