Hi all,
I'm planning on building a computer for equal use between games, photo editing, and solid modeling. What I have in mind is a AMD 3700 (939), asus A8N-SLI deluxe (or maybe premium) board, and evga 6800GT vid card (1 to start). I know it'll be good for gaming, and I think it'll be OK for the solid modeling that I do, although this is not the ideal card for this. Does anyone have experience using and AMD setup for photo work? The adobe site lists Intel CPUs as system requirements for it's products, and I'm a bit worried that AMD won't cut it. I will be doing relatively basic photo editing, and possibly some simple video editing in the future, so I think the AMD should be OK.
Can anyone offer an opinion on this?
Thanks,
John
