Hey there.
I built my PC about a year ago with the following specs:
• E8500 CPU
• P5QL Pro
• 4 GB Patriot Extreme
• EVGA 260 GTX
Just recently, I have started editing video and while I do not wish to do a total upgrade of my PC just yet; however, I was wondering if a simple CPU upgrade to a quad-core (not looking at anything specific just yet) would help me get faster rendering times.
I mostly work in After Effects, and I am aware that in order to utilize my memory fully, I need to upgrade my XP 32bit (and I plan to do that when Win 7 is available).
At the moment I have no budget in mind, something around 100-200 dollars is reasonable.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks very much for your time!
