How much did all of that add up to? I think we can beat it.

 

[ace2109]

total price £783 mate, i need this beast for photoshop and adobe premiere. It will be used for photos and video editing so it needs to be extremly fast, possibly 8Gb of ram???

 

[ace2109]

sorry i also need a really good laptop for doing the same thing photo's and video editing

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Will you be overclocking?

 

[ace2109]

no dont think there is any need

 

[.Sean]

Wait, why are you buying TWO 2600 PRO's? :\

Or did I just read it wrong?

EDIT: Yeah I did, my bad.

 

[ace2109]

i am going to be using a dual monitor setup and i was thinking you could use the sli mode to give even better graphics

 

[BillytheImpaler]

I left out Windows since if you want to use XP you'll need XP 64 or else you won't be able to address all 4 GiB of RAM.

EDIT: SLi is not for dual monitors. It only works with a single monitor. You should be fine using this one card with two monitors.

EDIT2: It comes to £690.74 with 2x OCZ 4GB (2 x 2GB) PC2-5400C5.

 

[.Sean]

One card can hold 2 monitors fine. No need to waste money on two.

EDIT: Lol, Billy beat me to it. I was going to suggest an ABIT board too.

 

[ace2109]

will xp64 run adobe photoshop ok???

 

[ace2109]

where would i buy xp pro 64bit???

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Yep, it should be just fine. Note my edit above about 8 gigs of RAM.

 

[The Badger]

Yes it will run fine.
