I've read quite a few posts recommending Intel over AMD. Any thoughts on a processor and motherboard using Intel? My needs are for digital video capture at standard size. I'll be using a MovieStuff DV8 Sniper unit to do frame by frame transfers of some old 8mm and super 8 film. It captures up to 8 frames / sec directly to a raid 0 using two or three hard drives (the os on it's own hd). The owner of MovieStuff Roger told me using a pc will be the way to go for the captures. I have nearly 0 experience with pc having always been a Mac guy. I have a background in electronics so I feel I can put together a system. Just wondering if I'll run into difficulties not being familiar with Windows.
