Hi all,
I am upgrading my motherboard (and eventually everything else). From surfing the net, it has been suggested that the chipset you chose is criticle to the nle solution you intend running. I am still struggling to get Pinnalce studio 9+ running smoothley. I believe ASUS is a good make of board. I will be putting a pentium 4 3.8ghz LGA775 CPU on, 2 gigs of DDR 400 RAM, and the the currnet graphics card I have is a PNY GeFORCE 6 256MB AGP8X. ASUS cirtainly do boards that combine AGP with PCIe slots but I need guidance as to the best chipset for Pinnacle? Any help here appreciated.
Thanks
does it come with any hardware ?
if not , should work on any motherboard
if it does , i always stick to intel chipsets
No hardware, just the media suite (worth it or otherwise). I can see 13 intel chipsets available on the ASUS website, would you say any of these are good? I am replacing and ECS SF2-M7 MOBO which has the Sis chipset and I have to say, I could never get pinnacle to work on that system.
Thanks for the reply mate.
I have an aversion to pinnacle 8 and 9 , but 7 worked fine on a true intel chipset.
Some motherboards that combine AGP and PCI-E don't run the AGP bus at full speed, So I'd steer clear of that idea.
I'm currently running Studio 10 on an NForce4 motherboard, which isn't of any help to you unless you plan to ditch the AGP graphics card.

Apreciated, thanks mate.
Dave,
I've just installed Studio 10.5 on an Asus A8N Nforce 410 and find that the video and sound keep going out of sync.
Things seem to be ok when the project is exported back to tape ..........have you had any problems with Studio 10?

Can't say I have had any problems, although I wouldn't say I'm a hevy user at the moment.
I have downloaded the latest patchset though, which may have resolved the problem.
Whether there's any connection, I'm still a Studio 8 user. S8 always had problems with audio/video out of sync when going from MPEG to DVD. There are loads of suggestions on the S8 forums and on here of ways to work round it.
