Hi. I'd like to get advice as to whether the following setup will provide a reasonably stable platform for HTPC plus a video editing system. I've yet to buy a capture card but I currently have now:
DFI CA64EN MoBo with VIA chipset
PIII-800
512 MB SDRAM PC133
80 GB WD HDD
VooDoo3 AGP video
Lite-On 24/10/40 CD-R/RW
WIN XP Pro
I'm planning to add now:
Lite-On 16x DVD with bundled PowerDVD - $58 at newegg
D-Link 530 PCI NIC - $10 at newegg
Creative Labs Soundblaster Live 5.1- $32 at newegg
Opinions? Is this a good start? Anything I'm missing?
