myktek said:i have an aiw x800xt and before a 9700 pro...but video editing hasn't reallyl improved much since the upgrade....are cards like the ati fire gl and nvidia quattro reallly gonna impove video editing?
no
with what you are probably doing, ur video card has absolutely nothing to do with it...
buy a dual core

RAID will help if you are really serious about editing. But if you are just the casual user, it would be much more economical to stop at a dual core processor.fanbanlo said:they do help if you have the AIW version and uses the provided ATI software to utlize VideoShaders...
If you want professional video editing card, try matrox~
if you want better overall editing, dualcore + RAID HD pls!
ya, i'm gettind dual raptors to run sata raid next week...and as for dual core..i have a prescott 3.0ghz p4 socket 478....i would have to move up to a lga775 or 939 for a dual core processor huh? ....dammit, i was trying not to do that, then i would have to buy an new aiw b/c i think dual core motherboards only have pcie... =(

actually i've pondered the hard drive question before. i think you would actually be best off not raiding the drives. put all your work on one and edit. then render it to the second drive which is seperate. i don't think there is going to be any noticeable speed improvement in editing while using the raid. you'd see more gains in that by adding memory. and the render should be faster when you're not reading from and writing to the same drive. so keep them unraided.myktek said:ya, i'm gettind dual raptors to run sata raid next week...and as for dual core..i have a prescott 3.0ghz p4 socket 478....i would have to move up to a lga775 or 939 for a dual core processor huh? ....dammit, i was trying not to do that, then i would have to buy an new aiw b/c i think dual core motherboards only have pcie... =(
my 2 cents.

ihave 3 ide drives right now seperated not raided and 2gb of ram....and it still takes forever... lol... i think i'll just build a dual core amd and maybe run SLI .I wonder if SLI will help improve video editing....
Before buying SLI for video editting, check to see if your software will support it. Unless you're rendering 3D effects, it likely will not. SLI was developed to render 3D environments (thought it can be put to other uses) and will not help if all you are doing is splicing video and adding simple transition effects.
Depending on the size of the videos you are editting, you could benefit from more memory. If you're very serious about it, up to 8GB would probably be beneficial (though having 4GB would probably be a more reasonable amount). And of course a dual core processor will speed up the process.

video cards don't do jack for video editing, it's all processor and memory. Dual-core and 2 gigs of ram will do wonders... again, software must support dual core. I know for a fact that Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 can benefit from dual core, while After Effects 6.5 can't.
