Full spec is i5 3550 (which is supposed to outperforms a lot of the i7s as it is 3g CPU. Ime using the avid DHxHD 35 codec (4.5 MB/s) so thought HD should be be a problem. Currently HD is delivering 85 MB/s. I have done the CUPA hack. Its a 550 Ti.
I am going to get a extra 8GB, someone told me there is no point in going to 24 as I need to double memory to make and difference.
In terms of HD I was going to get a pair of Seagate Barracuda drives but I am woried about there reliability. I have had one die and I have heard lots of thers who have had problems. Also seagate has reduced warrante to 1 year. I am also not sure if it is better to rid0 them or put different things on each.
Regards,
Ben
