cheapest core duo for HDV

[Tobe]

Interesting comments and conversation. I guess I was hoping folks would chime in with brand names and models that meet the criterion of cheapest core duo PC that works well for Edius and also for Edius NX.
There's a lot to consider...correct motherboard and graphics card for the NX, so if I buy a new duo-core now and later add in the board set, i want to get the correct one...

First of all, what do you consider cheap? After the price drop in July for the Intel chips, you could build a complete core 2 system for under $800. If you are strictly doing HQ product you should get ok RT.
I prefer Asus and Supermicro motherboards. This is, of course, a personal choice.

That's the kind of info I was hoping to get...thanks, Jerry...as much specific info that users have found, to lead the way for us skin-flints :-)

Brandon,
The machine that Pat was running, I noticed a 700+ buffer on that.
If you can tell me, how is that measured.

When you see the buffer settings it is based on different amounts of RAM. When you pick the amount of RAM EDIUS will then create as many buffers as possible.

Pat had his set to 512 Megs.

That gives over 700 Frames in SD and around 176 in HD :)
