Re: Will Video Editing on a PC ever truly work?

I've been running Adobe CS3 and more recently, CS4 on Boxx computers built to run these and similar programs well, and have had very few problems, and none whatsoever, no crashes, etc., on the most recent Boxx 4850. They are designed for these applications, are highly reliable, and run like a good dream!

Of course they cost a LOT more than what you may be talking about - but no more, and probably less than comparable Apples.

I'm running Vista 64k with NVidia CX card, plenty of RAM, and Cineform, the latter, by the way, which I have had for years and would never be without.

My own experience, after many, many machines, for video editing,
has been exceedingly positive with Boxx, followed by Apple (yes, I did utilize them for several years until I was too frustrated by the non availability of certain applications and programs with which I was familiar), followed by HP. After many Dells, I just refuse ever to purchase another.

Good luck to you in your future choices, don't give up, perfection with PCs is quite possible.
