Compatible motherboard?

[pgovotsos]

Does anyone know about compatibility of Asus M2N78-LA motherboard with Edius 5 and NX Express? It's for an AMD quad-core. How does Edius & NX Express like AMD systems? Intel better?

Thanks,

Intel seems to work better. I do not know about the board you are referring to.

Intel is not better, it's the only one. But for games- go to AMD.

How about this system:

HP Pavilion Elite m9450f
Asus IPIBL-LB motherboard
Core 2 Quad Q9300 (Y) 2.5 GHz
8GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-6400)
NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT graphics with 512MB dedicated memory
750 GB system drive
460W powersupply

Does this sound reasonable to use w/ Edius 5 and NX Express? Any experiences with this mobo / graphic card?

Thanks,
Panagiotis

You probably should get a more powerfull power supply and you would need a video array too.

I have got to agree with Mark, go a bigger power supply like 750 or 850 watt, the Graphics card is heavy on power.

I'm probably dumb here, but what do you mean by "video array"?

Otherwise, the system looks good?

Video should be stored on hard drives not loaded with the operating system. The "video drive" where you store your captured video should be a minimum of a RAID 0 with 2 drives. This is what I mean by a video array, hope that helps, if not just google "RAID 0"

[pgovotsos]

Thanks. I know what RAID is, (and not to use RAID 0) just never heard it called "video array". Drive array yes. Like I said, my stupidity.

[shueardm]

Why not use RAID 0? Unless you use 5 drives in a RAID 5 then it's your only option for performance.
