myrorym Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Greetings, I'm interested in a similar project for similar use, also with creative suite. osx86 seems a good idea for my needs and budget. the last pc I built was about five years ago, and I wish I had taken more time to prepare, as well as had more of a reason to build a higher-end pc. it feels like hd setup could be an underrated importance. I am wondering if using an internal drive or partition to read/write files is a better than using external drives. what is the future for 8gbram support? I haven't read that it is possible to maximize that power, but if a could build a machine ready for that, I would start sooner. I will be curious as to how your project develops, so please let us know about hardware/software victories/defeats. and I wish you good luck.

MaaseyRacer Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Final Cut loves to use RAM. 8GB of ram is really cheap now. You will not be adding that much more to your purchase price by adding another 4GB of RAM. Well worth you investment right now. Otherwise your system is a great system for final cut. Also save your self the headache and drop $30 on a Pioneer 216 SATA DVD-R drive. PATA is not worth the headache to get working. If you do a lot of video editing get a second hard drive (or even a third and fourth drive). I am booting off a 640GB now, and running a 750 and 500GB drive externally. The new 640GB drives are cheap, have two platters, and 32MB cache. Best of luck on your build.
