I've been working on an upgrade for my computer rig. Currently running a amd xp 2800+ with >1 GB ram.
What I'm considering:
My main purpose for my computer is hard video editing, autoring, encoding/transcoding. Also I do heavy image editing and experiment with webservers and the such.Quote:

Anyone have any suggestions or critiques?
Should I be thinking about the fact that the stock cpu cooler might really suck and need to invest a few bucks for a different cooler?
Or maybe a cheaper or more acceptable video card (I'm not heavy into pc games, but I go multi-out a lot)
Incompatable ram, or too expensive ram for not enough performance?
