Building System for Premiere Pro

[Tom Lowe]

Best bet is always to wait until the last possible moment before getting the system. Four months later something 50% faster might come out.

For Premiere, the CPU seems to be everything. For AE, RAM is the issue. This 3GB limit on RAM with 32-bit applications and systems totally sucks. Hopefully CS4 + Vista 64 will open things up in terms of RAM.

"...I'm wondering just how fast the new Nehalam based Xeons are going to be...."

30% - 80% faster than current Xeon architecture per clock cycle depending on the application.

We have some Nehalem engineering samples here in the lab and they are fast. Very fast. That's about all I can say at the moment...

You already have OCZ's new fast 128 GB SSD in the $500 range all over the web.

Glad you brought that up. I just saw this link for a Core V2 up to 250GB capacity and faster Read/Write times.

Can't wait for the $/GB on these drives to drop to like $1. No more spinning disks.
