Default RE: My new DELL arrived (Making Professional Hunting Video)

I'm a computer geek by profession so here are my thoughts. Everything looks good from a hardware standpoint, but there is a thing or two I would have done differently. First, I would have spread my hardrive space over at least two drives, and most likely 5 so that I could provide RAID or striping for redundancy. Second, the quad core is a little overkill right now because most software isn't capable of taking advantage of it. It's OK, you're ahead of the curve. Third, I love ATI, but NVidia's video cards are kicking their butt right now IMO. It's a good card no doubt.

All in all it is a great machine. The only change I'd consider would be extra hard drives, or an external for backups.

What kind of software are you going to run on it?
