Hi there, Just to give you a general description of what I think is important for video/sound editing. Sound editing isn't as resource intensive as video editing, so here are the recommended specs for video editing. Cpu - Core2 Duo 6750 RAM - 2 gig (upgradeable) Graphics - onboard or...

when I said get both, I thought it would be no problem for the OP, just look at the specs of his computer! He could just get the OEM versions for the OS.

ouch kaz, im hurt :P, just for your info, im not any other kid, my dad's sick and I have to work. I know the preciousness of money and the work put into earning it, everything I have I work for it.

the 9700LED is a very very very very quiet fan if you compare it to its size (its humungous). I agree there are pros and cons to getting vista and staying with xp. You could either get DX9 and play the best of games now, or get DX10 and benefit from the graphics of future games that harness...

maybe a little bit, but no miracles. Is it possible for you to give us 3dmarks for the two graphics cards? That way we can tell if the performance gap is how much it should be. Thanks

may I ask what you need a monitor driver for? Does it have built in speakers? Monitors usually don't need a driver to be able to show pictures...

have you tried reinstalling the graphics drivers? If that doesn't work, there may be a bottle-neck (the cpu) that's why there's a lag in performance. But still it doesn't make sense...

for your RAM, 2gig will be able to do the job and either one with 667 or 800 frequency should be enough, no need for the high-end RAM with frequencies in the thousands, because your not overclocking. cooling, get a fan from Zalman in the family of the 9700LED. They're cheap and they offer great...

External Hardware Remember guys too, that most flash drives rarely reach their "USB 2.0" speed. Most come close while some don't...

External Hardware Obviously, you would need a hard drive and an enclosure. Make sure that the enclosure you are going to get is compatible with the hard drive, for example, the hard drive has an IDE connection, get an enclosure with the IDE connector. Vice versa, you can get a hard drive with...

not just programs, people too! eg. bittorrent

sorry mate... RAID is like USB ports nowadays :P

always listen to Big B on tis one;)

that should give it enough power for now. If you do intend of putting a quad core (Note: you don't really need a PSU to be "optimized for quad-core or SLI) to run quad cores or SLI, it's just there to give you peace of mind that it will run without burning out, all you need is a stable PSU from...

well first, there are things you consider like what will you be using it for? For games, you need a monitor with a fast refresh rate (around 2ms is good, that way, ghosting (trails that your mouse or objects on screen leaves) will not be visible), high contrast (you should always look for a...

I think that's what happens. SATA is backwards compatible.

yer it should work.

does it even record on window's voice recorder?

thats strange, my pc woudnt boot with that config :eek: :eek: :eek:

if you build it yourself, you can save upto 700 bucks even 1k. Anyway you've still got the warranty so you can return it if you're not happy with it. Also you can pay your local computer shop to build it for you if you're not confident for a small fee.
