[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 407347, member: 24160"] Just thought I would chime in. They all are correct. Audio/Video encoding is processor intensive. But, for others that may be looking at this thread down the road and looking at building a topnotch system - always spend your money first - on the best processor you can afford. This is the most expensive piece of hardware in the system; now and to upgrade. It is also the single piece of hardware that will prolong the useful life expectancy of any system. All other hardware (in a Mac Pro - since you have no options available for the system board) can be upgraded inexpensively (relatively) at a later time. edit: see post below also [/QUOTE]
