Hello all,
I didn't know where to post this question but here it is anyways...
I'm planning to bye a hole new system in about a month or so from now, even though my vendor knows pretty much about computers, there are also specialized issues to consider and I want all the good advices all of you experienced people can give me.
First, over-clocking is NOT an issue for me.
I want a system that's FAST and as RELIABLE as possible,
CPU, Mobo, memmory, h.d., dvd-writer, graphics board, sound card, box, power, monitor, scanner(35mm neg.), anything else i may have forgotten ;o)
So here's what I want to be able to do with it.
I have a Sony DSC-F707, 5 megapix camera and make a lot of pictures, i use Photoshop 5.5 and want to upgrade to the latest version for photo processing. I already have a Canon S900 photo printer (wich is absolutely great by the way).
I have a Sony MiniDV DCR-TRV25 megapix camcorder with fire-wire i/o and USB as well. I want to edit video in realtime and burn them to DVD.
I also play guitar, keyboards and sing and want to be able to use my computer as a basic home recording studio.
So help me please to choose the best system I can get for around 4 000$cdn (I live in Longueuil PQ) monitor included (Great flat CRT will do fine, 19" minimum)
Thanks in advance for your time and patience,
Daniel
