I really need to get a new & faster computer, I really wanted to get one of those new Athlon 64 X 2's with the dual cores cpu's but I don't think they are releasing those till 2007 Unfortantly.
but since there useing the 939 chipset I was thinking why don't I just get an Athlon 64 3500+ for the time being it's still pretty fast, but not in multitasking. But anyway I need it if i'm going to do all these films for festivals and such.
So I need a mother board hmm need to do some research as to which is the best one for the money.
Amd 64 3500+ $400
MSI K8N Neo4-Platinum (Socket 939) $293.00
OR MSI K8N SLI Platinum (S939) $267.00

Video cards
Video cards are really important for running animations and have lots of wire frames moving smoothly on screen, Most of the rendering on 3D products are done by the processor and not the video card, but a good video card is essential for good editing, so anyway I have gone for
Leadtek Winfast 128MB PX6600GT TDH Extreme PCI-Express 320.00
Good enough to run decent games on, and it can run in SLI mode "Basicly two cards runing togeather to share the load" Plus games cards seem almost as good as proffesional 3d cards costing thousands
Or a
