Thanks, 6 cores it is! I'll order it up tonight.

Thank you guys. Very much appreciated! In terms of saving money, would a AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 840 suffice? Or would it not make enough noticable difference from the E6600? As for the cuda support, i had no idea it was limited. I'll look into it. Thanks again!

I really wouldn't want to spend more than £200. Less if possible. I'm out of the loop these days so not sure about prices?

Hello all. I will soon have a lot of video work to do and will be heavily using After efects and premier pro. My current rig is simply not up to the job. E6600 2GB DDR2 6400 Onboard gfx It's a budget dell vostro - a couple of years old. The mobo will take up to 4GB DDR2 but only...

Thanks for the replies. I'm using an E2200 @ 2.2GHz if that makes any difference to the issue?

Hello all I'm in the process of upgrading my desktop for a bit of video editing using premier pro. Memory is sorted, large hard drive is in place. I've got about £70 left over and was wondering if there is any point buying a low end CUDA gfx card to give the process a bit of a boost...

The problem is i have an insurance voucher for the purple store so i dont have the option of shopping around. The other issue is i'm completely skint, and the £100 excess i had to pay is more than i can afford at the moment anyway! £650 it is i'm afraid. :(

Hi there, thanks for the response. My budget is around £650 (from purple store) so it won't stretch to i7 + a top gpu :( Most of my work will be in DV, with one project planned to be HDV.

Hello all, a little help needed here. I'm looking for a laptop at the moment and i will be doing a fair chunk of video editing over the coming months. Now, i'm wondering how much difference dedicated gfx will make when it comes to editing (mostly premier pro), possibly after effects but...

thanks for all the replies guys. It does seem they made an error regarding the gpu in the Q430 :( Is the GT310M much worse than the GT330M? And yeah, its a pain that i have to buy from a 'certain' store when i could find things cheaper else where. And finally, regarding the acer. Do acer...

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly as it's an insurance replacement, i'm restricted to buying from the purple store.

Thanks for the reply, very much appreciated. i've narrowed my choices down to a few models now. SAMSUNG Q430 i3-330M 2.13 GHz 4GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 1366 x 766 320GB SATA £549.98 SONY VAIO VPCEB3L0E/BQ.CEK i3-370M (2.4 GHz) 4GB DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5470...

Thanks for the reply. I would be doing a fair bit of video editing, so rendering times would be an issue. Although for £600 i guess i can't allow it to be too much of an issue! This brings me on to my next issue. In video editing terms, would the mid range 'dedicated' gfx such as the...

Hi all... I have £600 to spend at the purple store and the laptops within this price range seem to be i5 450m and i3 370m models. (the 370m being £50 cheaper). After doing a spot of research i noticed that these chips are more or less identicle. The only difference being the i5 has the...

Sigmatel sound card in a Dell 1520 laptop. I've searched for advanced options but i don't think they exsist.

Hello, My speakers are pretty bass heavy. This isn't an issue when using WMP as it has a built in equaliser so i can turn the bass down a little. However when using iplayer, spotify, 4od etc... there is no equaliser to adjust the bass. Is there anything available for me to use to...

I rang o2 retentions the other day and they offered me this; HTC Desire - Free 18 month 500mins/unlimited text & internet £35 a month So there are savings to be made. My advice would be to try again, although their 'Desire' retentions deals aren't that great compared to other...

The legend is on o2? Excelent. My next phone!

This site is brilliant, thanks. Loads of useful stuff.

I think this is the one for me. I've had a little play with the Trial version and it seems to do the job. Thank you.
