Hello one and all,
If I want to buy a new rig to do video processing using
Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 pro Pack and other various
video utilities, where should I concentrate my money?
Should I buy a very good video card but midrange processing?
Or the other way around, an I7 920 with 3-6 gigs of triple data
ddr3 but a mediocre video card? I am building this for a friend
of mine...she knows nothing about computers except for her
video work...
Let's just say that she is willing to dish out the bucks(but not
go too crazy) for a good system...

Favor the CPU.

Thanx,
I'll most definitely take that into consideration...
