Aha, so SSD for windows and you always copy there the actual project files?
4-6 gb ram? Btw for SSD would I need the same ram?

Im also thinking about a big external hdd for security copy, not only to burn raw files to dvds.... we must be paranoid, right?

What about the rest of the pc? I know sy wrote about it in a topic, but I cant really remember...
Intel core 2, 4?

Kingston SSD drives are very good and reliable drives as well.

Quad core chips are cheaper nowadays anyway, never hurts to have the extra processing power, especially if you're running 64bit applications. You can never have enough RAM, more the better.

@shownomarcy

no, you dont copy your projects on the SSD, you just use it for system and progs, like I said. your projects can be stored on a regular HDD.

and I highly recommend a Sandybridge CPU.

If you want just a cheap SSD for Windows og programs, you can go for Crucial C300 64GB.
I bought that myself after reading a lot of reviews and it really increased the boot time and the response when I open and use Adobe Photoshop.

It's a SATA-600 drive, so be sure your motherboard supports it if you want to get the full experience. My computer has only SATA-300, but it really kick ass here to.

6 Gb RAM are enough for the biggest part of the applications

Thanx for all the good hints. Think I will buy it, but of course with an 160GB SSD for the sytem :-) Only thing I'm still not sure is about AMD or Intel. What do you think????

Intel Sandybridge i7 2600K CPU. Strongest CPU (for consumers) on the market at the moment, and it has an open multiplicator (that's what the K stands for). You can easily overclock it to 4,4 GHz even with a regular CPU cooler, if you have a better cooler you can bring it to 5,0 or even 5,2 GHz. Read about it, it is jus awesome. Here is a test (in german)
