Dell has a special on XPS Studio 9000 through March 4th. $358 off the
regular price.

I spec'd one out with a 23.5" monitor, 8 GB memory, subwoofer speaker
system, 750 GB hard drive and it came to $1,198.

Someone needs to have a real good reason to pay for 8GB of RAM.

The only add-on I might pay for when ordering from Dell is one of their
monitors. You'll do much better to buy peripherals like speakers from a
third party.

How much memory do you consider to be adequate for video editing and
converting? Consider I will want to be doing other tasks while video
is being converted.

True. But I tossed it in there just to see how much the total would
be. I also put in a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. Could
probably do better elsewhere with that stuff as well.

Tom's (and most others) use less than 8GB for benchmarking, which
includes applications for video and audio encoding and transcoding.

You don't want to do other work on your computer while encoding or
transcoding, no matter how much memory you have.

Why not? I've been doing it successfully for over two years, probably
more than 75 projects. Admittedly the encoding takes longer, but so
far no problems.
