I am very near to needing to pull the trigger on this. I must build a system for editing HD, moving from SD. My experience is with the Intel family and planning to stay with Intel. The Sandy Bridge seems where I want to go, but I'd like to know who is using it, or has some hands-on experience (beyond the web reviews).
I'm likely to go with the 2600K / 1155 socket version and was looking at the ASUS P8Z68 boards but a number of user issues have been pointed out to me via this forum. (Thank you!)
So I'm looking now at Gigibyte who seems to have a broad range of boards (and PRICES!) for the Z68 support. Many seem to be ultra high end for very serous gamers. I don't need super speed PCI xxx-flavor sockets for a 12 screen system.
Any experience or recommendations on Gigabyte or other brands of Mobos strictly for VP 10 (and beyond) HD editing with (eventually) 2 to 3 displays and maybe a feed to a HD video projector?
I also understand that the super-fancy video cards are not generally necessary, so I'm looking for what I would need (NVidia preferred) to drive two displays. It could be one or two cards. The only other card I will have in this videoedit machine will be, if it si still compatible, the card for my Delta 1010 rackmount audio interface. (Hmmm, is ISA supported anymore?)
Thanks much in advance!
Wayne
