855393 2010-02-04 20:10:00 Hi

I don't have a set budget but would like to keep it below $3500 (Just for the box)

So the computer will be mainly used for image editing. applications that i will be using are Maya, Adobe CS4 and little use of sound forge.

running on windows 7 pro, possibly 64bit version. Can i get some suggestions for the CPU, Graphic card and the amount of memory needed to keep the rendering time to minimum while i edit raw image files which can exceed 1000mb+

thank you.

And if you load and edit a 3 GB+ file (in a 32 bit program), it'll probably close on you. Its happened here before. So, not only will you need a 64 bit system, you'll also need 64 bit programs Speedy Gonzales (78)
855395 2010-02-04 21:54:00 what about processor and graphic card?. gum digger (6100)
855396 2010-02-04 22:00:00 The higher the CPU the better. Dont think the videocard matters. All thats does, is let you see whats on the screen. Its the CPU / and ram (and the program if its 64 bit), that does the work not the videocard. I'm just using an HD4550. Thats good enough for me for editing video. Speedy Gonzales (78)
