I do photography & some light video (the next version of Photoshop is 64 bit & soon) - From Experience I hate to buy a new system with the RAM already maxed out. I want to build a new system with 64 bit Vista & 8 gb RAM but I would like to know I can add another 8GB (or More) in the future. Is this possible???? (without breaking the bank) I need to build 2 of them.
My storage is on an external eSata port multiplier.
I don't do any gaming but the quality of the video is important.
These are my ideas / requirements as I see them: Your better ideas will be apreciated
Processor - Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9300
Motherboard - 16gb, 6 or more Sata, 1 eSata, gigaBit Lan, firewire, Some PCI? slots available.
RAM to start - 4 x 2gb = 8gb
Video Card - dual monitor support, 512 RAM (may want a third monitor???)
HD - 500gb
DVD - Lightscribe SATA
OS - 64 bit Vista - If possible Dual boot with XP Pro
Case - Large to hold multiple HD's
Power Supply - 600W +
Thanks
Joe
