Has anyone any thoughts on a good AGP graphics card for use with VS9. Can't spend a fortune, will 256mB be noticeable over 128 ??

Cheers

Andy

In my opinion, the graphics card has nothing to do with video editing.

If you are asking about a combination of video/capture cards then let us know. Also, if you are using TV Out with color profiles to try and judge what it will look like on a TV signal that is different too. As far as performance, it makes no difference. Spend the money on a hard drive or CPU.

Thanks for the help. With regards to hard drives would you reccommend the faster SATA drives for access speed ??

Yes, I would over IDE. Make sure you check what your motherboard can support first. If it can support SATA-II then go for that. If not, then make sure you get a regular SATA drive or a SATA-II with a jumper that allows it to work in the first generation mode.

If you can, dedicate the drive to video.
