Hello everyone! First id like to say that this is my first post at these forums and id like to say hi to everone Now... Onto my project.
I am currecntly a sophmore in high school and on our football team. Our school was just built and is brand new, so were getting top of the line everything including our stadium Anyways.. My dad somehow got himself into videoing all of our games, editing them, and selling them for a few bucks each to cover the cost of making them, and putting together a highlight film at the end of each year as a fundraiser. Now i am currently building a website for a family friend that i should get at least 1000$ for, and with this money and some other money, i am going to build a nice film editing computer/personal computer.
I have never used a dual core processor, but im going to on this computer. Im thinking of an Opteron 165 (or higher) Or the Athalon 64x2 4800+ , but am leaning more towards the Opteron 165 as iv heard it can overclock to a 2.6 2.7 ghz stable, but what can a 4800+ overclock to? If i can get the 4800+ into a 3+ ghz range, then i think ill pay double the money and get rid of SLI. I have about 1500$ on my budget.
Also, iv read up on SLI and im interested. What exactly does SLI do besides run 2 video cards? Would it help with film editing at all or only games? Im not new to computers at all, iv been around them my entire life. My parents both own a VoIP Telecommunications company called Compro Technologies, www.comprotech.com , and have thrown together many computers in the past, mostly from parts lieing around there office so none of them have been very good at all. For 300$ i bought a HP with celeron-3 2.93 ghz, 256mb ram, and i bought a GEIL 512mb cl2 card for a good deal. Blah blah blah, im rambling on. Anyways ill get to the point...
Give me your best multi tasking / film editing setup for 1500$ or less Maybeeeee a little bit more... Depends if im on the spending mood that day
Thanks everyone!
