I don't use such a beast (@home, to run Cinelerra ;-)). Mine is a dual-core AMD64 4600+X2 with 3Gb RAM, and it's perfect for editing DV material. Some people here probably use far more powerful computers, but anyway, we can't really tell you our opinion, since all depends of what you'll do with Cinelerra. Will you edit HDV or DV? > - any alternatives for the motherboard? > - I work wit an ATI Radeon 9200 graphics card, it works but has caused > problems in the past, which card do you prefer? Definitely an Nvidia one. An NVidia 7600GS works fine, as stated here: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/wiki/doku.php?id=english_manual:cinelerra_cv_en_2#hardware_requirements > What 64 bit distribution would you recommend? I'm not quite sure the distribution would make a big difference anyway...
