Best Processor for Video Editing.

[Dove32]

Hey all,

Sorry if this has been posted before, i had a search through for a thread alread but couldnt find one so.

Basically just wondered what you would recommend would be the best processor for video editing out atm, or coming out in the near future. Basically just wondered whether AMD or Intel would be best for video editing, and maybe which one is the best. eg. core duo etc.

Thanks in advance.

i could look into overclocking, i have never done it myself but i know a few people who have, is it really worth it then ?

 

[Dove32]

With the mac pro tho, would all the decent editing software run on it? Quiet a few programs i have been using say that they require windows.

ok nice one, thanks very much for the advice guys appricate it .

One last thing, u say about over clocking the core duo's *** fan would u recommend for the overclocking on it, or is the supplied fan enough to overclock a little?

ah kk nice, u got some fast repling goin on there lol.

I know this prob the wrong place to put it but i thought its worth a shot, but wen u overclock is it simply just a case of increasing the processor speed or would u have to overclock your memory and hard drives etc to keep up ?

ok nice one, thx very much for ya help

 

[Dove32]

okey dokey thx guys

atm i am lookin at the E6600, not to pricy and a damn good processor, cheers for the advice guys.

yea exactly, i see in your sig u overclocked yours to 3.6 ghz, u using the Scythe Ninja fan to do that or ?

 

[Dove32]

looks awesome, was it hard to set up and everything ?

yea i might look at water cooling and then overclock myself, some nice guides around too, so shouldnt be toooooo hard.

Also wen u say if u can afford it do it, is it that much more expensive to go to H20, surely if u bought a processor and overclocked it, it would be cheaper than buying the equivalent none overclocked processor if that makes sense.

well, have to see how it goes, might be able to afford water cooling, if not, ill look into some nice air coolers and see what i can with them. Cheers for ya help guys.
