thanks, i have a good idea of what to build as i have done dv editing in the past, just wasn't sure on the newer intel chipsets.
the rest of the system would be something like:
2GB DDR2 (appropriate speed)
2-3x250GB HDD
450-500W Good Brand PSU
i would probably sale my x800xtpe, get a x1800xl or faster in pci-e, get a cheap agp card for my current rig....
i already have a case, software (adobe premiere), os, dvd-rw, etc.
i was thinking about just putting in a opty165 in my rig but i would like to be able to use a machine and have the other render, plus i could just about build a whole new machine for the price of the opty165...so even with my opty @ 2.5GHz i figure if i can use both rigs to create video i will be pretty good.
