We finally broke down and succumbed to the need for more cores. The HD vidcam we got last year has generated 50GB of video that can't even be viewed in the native compression by our Ubuntu system. According to the forums, a quad-core is the minimum for editing
avchd formats. The new box is running win 7 professional 64-bit. From Newegg:
- Intel Core i7-860 2.8GHz LGA 1156 Quad-Core Processor
- Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power Power Supply
- ASUS P7P55 LX ATX Intel Motherboard
- G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
- MSI GeForce 8400 GS N8400GS-TD512 Video Card
- SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive
Our windows experience rating is hobbled by the bargain video card which only managed a 3.3 out of 7.9. The cpu and ram sailed to a 7.4 each and the hard drive was a barely acceptable 5.9. Not that we're gamers by any means, but I have a strangely predictable urge to get the score up. Now we just need some editing software and we'll have the complete epics of Afton Metrix.
You lost me. I'll have to ask Brenden to translate.
