Whoops, that was seemingly a typo - I did mean 2x1GB but now 4x1GB. You've been a tremendous help. It is really comforting to know you guys pay such close attention to your forum - for when I need help with the actual building/editing/everything else.
Thanks again.

Guest repliedOk, I just put an extra set of RAM in the budget.
I forgot about the soundcard, do I need one above and beyond the onboard AC97 of the mobo or is that handled through the Edius SP hardware anyhow?

Guest repliedThanks so much for the reply. I phoned tech support and they helped me find the compatibility listing on the site. Based on that I've rechosen a few key components:
MOBO: Supermicro X7DA8
CPU: 2x Xeon E5335 Quad Core 2GHZ
VIDEO: Diamond Viper Radeon HD 3850
RAM: Kingston PC2-5300 FBDIMM 1x2GB
The only real question in the air is the video card, which isn't officially listed on the compatibility chart.

FWIW I (and others) can suggest with confidence the Supermicrio X7DA (E,8 or 3) motherboards.
