the reason I got the machine is because I write a lot of music, plus do shitload of video editing, and I was sick of having to upgrade to a new computer every year...I wanted something that is going to last at least 3 years

I don't even actually physcially touch the machine unless I am editing video or writing music, when I need to use it or do something on it I VNC in and do what I need to do

ok so it is not your daily pc now we are talking

what sound card do you have? usually heavy procs are good for video but a nice pro soundcard should not mess you up.

edit damn burp beer today is sucking LOL yeah i saw the video editing

nice setup what vid card do you use?

well of course not, I don't game and I hate sitting at a desk...I do use it daily though through vnc, why do you all hate vnc so much? it is most handy shit I use on a daily basis, it saves me from running up and down the stairs 100 times a day

oh, and the video card is the only thing I need to upgrade right now, it is a firegl v3100

vnc is slow the only advantage is the drivers thing but if you do server admin RDP is way better faster less bandwith consuming.

yeah nice card but yeah you need upgrade try pinnacle expensive but you will love it and probably will extend the life of your pc by 5 to 8 years unless some new proc and video crunching application comes up. but for the rest of us mortals that should be cool

hm..I haven't had any slowness with VNC at all, but then again I ONLY use it to vnc across a local network

in fact, it is quite speedy and suits my needs just fine

Is RDP the windows version of vnc? if so I tried that and hated it, it was super buggy when I tried it

ermmn its the other way around but yeah thats it...

what was buggy about it? i mean it is only remote desktop nothing else new windows xp version you can share harddrives on connection so no need for a different client to upload.

but again i only manage servers no aps like you so there is a difference. and yes its because you are in LAN but it gets slow over a couple of thousands of miles of fiber

well to manage the box you need pro but to log on to a box with RDP you can download the client.
