Are these pc components ok?
I want to upgrade to a intel base set-up. I'm going to be using vista home premium 32 bit. I already have a internal and external hard drive 7200 rpm.
Is this pc build okay? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130390 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151096 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835608014 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.459955 |

Re: Are these pc components ok?
If you MUST stick with Vista 32 bit, i would get a 256 or 512MB video card.
But if you are going to build a nice i7 system, why not spend the extra $100 and get Windows 7 64 bit? Also, even though you may have 7200 RPM drives, this board you listed has SATA III 6Gb/sec ports. So i would add 2 or more Western Digital Caviar Black SATA III 6Gb/sec 64MB cache drives. I personally would go with a Corsair PSU at least 650 watts and even higher.

Re: Are these pc components ok?
Since you're using 32 bit, if you drop your vid card to 512MB thats ~512MB extra memory availble to Pro Tools.

Re: Are these pc components ok?
I would consider choosing a system a little closer to the proven ones listed on the i7 sticky at the top of this forum.
I would consider XP if you are going to run in a 32-bit system. I would consider a smaller video card if you are running in a 32 bit system. And I would consider using the /3GB switch.

Re: Are these pc components ok?
Forgive me for my ignorance about computers but why do I need two more internal drives and what is a /3Gb switch. And is jumping to windows 7 64-bit going to help that much?
And are these video cards and power supply okay? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130419 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151091 |
