Any advice for a new rig to run CS5 AE?


hi all,

 

we have cs3 running on g5.

 

we want upgrade i'm interested in advice on should ask for. i'm not sure budget we're including in hd upgrade of suite.

 

so here's few questions:

 

1) firstly, i've heard pcs stable macs ae, agree? since work clients in room lot, stability main issue.

 

2) have pc running avid , perhaps use rather buy new one:

 

win xp prof
x5450 @ 3.00ghz 8 cpus
3gb memory
nvidia quadro fx 3700

 

could put vista 64 , more ram (how much?) onto this? quite machine? can't run win 7 64bit it's not compatible interplay.

 

3) if went mac route kind of price equate above pc build - assuming acceptable build.

 

4) vista 64 allow multi core processing? on g5 leave off there huge delay @ start , end of processing, i'd heard intel chips don't this.

5) vista 64 allow use of more 3gb of ram (which i'm stuck with)

 

6) idea on cost upgrade cs3 cs5? there difference if change platform?

 

any appreciated

 

cheers

forgot say, i'm in uk
