Hi everybody. Great forum you guys have here.
I'm hoping for some opinions from people who have used the Edius SP systems before and what their recommendations for hardware would be. I've been recently approached by a friend who wants me to build workstation to run his new Edius SP system. Not having designed a system specifically for HDV editing before I'd like to know what the people here think of the following system that i've come up with.
- Mainboard: Tyan Tempest i5400PW - S5397AG2NRF
2xS771, i5400, 16xFB-DIMMS, 6xSATA-II, RAID, 2xPCI-Ex16, 1xPCI-Ex8, 2xPCI-X, 1xPCI, 2xGigLAN, VGA, E-ATX
- CPU: 2 x Intel XEON X5460 Quad Core, 3.16GHz, 12MB Cache, LGA771, 1333FSB (Active or passive cooling, im not sure which to go for)
- RAM: 1 x Kingston 2048MB PC2-5300 667Mhz Fully Buffered ECC DDR2-RAM - Dual Rank x4
- Graphics: 1 x Leadtek Quadro FX 4600 - 768MB DDR3, 384-bit, 2x DVI - PCI-Ex16
HDD and peripheral components to be decided later by my friend but any suggestions on these would be greatly appreciated as well.
