What do you think of the Dell Inspiron 530?

Hey,

Im thinking of buying a new computer for HD video editing. What do you think of the Dell Inspiron 530?

Heres a link to a page with the computer and its details.

Intrested to hear what you think.

Thanks

Yeh i have built computers before but i just dont want the hassle of finding all the right parts.

Do you think this can handle HD editing well tho? Like with adobe premiere and adobe after effects?

Hey,

Thanks for all that info its a greatly appreciated.

The thing is i dont have much time to go out and buy the parts and put it together so i just wanted a computer quick.

I was wondering if that inspiron could edit HD and not take 3 hours to render 5 mins of footage like my current computer.

Hey,

lol i know u have ur heart set on me building a system but for a second just imagine that building a system is out of the picture, what do you think about that comp for HD editing, that website said the processer is preety good.

There are three key ingredients:

• CUDA: The greatest obstacle to parallel computing has always been the software. The GeForce GTX 280 supports CUDA, the industry's first parallel computing language to have deep penetrating (70 million user base) on the PC. CUDA is simple, powerful and offers exceptional scaling on visual computing applications.
• GPU Computing Architecture: The GeForce GTX 280 is designed specifically for parallel computing, incorporating unique features like shared memory, atomic operations and double precision support.
• Many-core architecture: With 240 cores running at 1.3GHz, the GeForce GTX 280 is the most powerful floating point processor ever created for the PC.
• Torrential bandwidth: Due to their high data content, visual computing applications become bandwidth starved on the CPU. With eight on-die memory controllers, the GeForce 280 GTX can access 141GB of data per second, greatly accelerating HD video transcoding, physics and image processing applications.
  
  260 GTX is do the same just a little slower
  so think about it =)

Im not interested in playing Crysis on high. I just want to edit 1080i and use after effects and i want the video to render in an acceptable time which is probably under 20 mins for 5 mins of footage.

well so no good video game: bad editing. over-priced computer that you.
id still recomend cyberpower. if you want more for ur buck
but there nothing that can compete then own build. piece by piece.
1700$ = Best build. possible for design of all video game & Editing 280GTX
1400$ = second. in piece by piece 260GTX
1200 $ = third cause of 9800GTX
2600XT . 10x weaker on any any video game then any of those video card mentioned and editing just letting you know
i don't want you crying how stupid you was. i won't fight with you anymore if you desire to spend ur money not wisely
when i build my pc my mom was like you sure it ok costume build ? it never being so right no bug
and how much id have spend for a crap 6600GT in time. id have spend 2200$ and it cost me a total of 1200$. in 2006 =)
1000$ Saving. then dell realised a bit how screwy they was and : being 200$ less screwy. but still it not enough.
HP & ibuypower : uberRig & cyberpower offer better deal
but there no way you can get someting as good as costum build from them
with ati 2600XT and non oc cpu . and ram 667mzh you on't even run starcraft 2 1280x1024 + Resolution without lag =)
or other game we can still talka bout it or we end here. i hope someone else in the games-pot find a better thing for you
cause i kinda searched everwhere to avoid you to get screwed i saved 20 people of getting screwed . from dell
maybe 24 by end of the year =)

Australian . that good i helped several. Australian get biased usually and by dell even more.

the problems Australia as no good industry of thee own for pc part place like. cyberpower & HP much
so there are left to piece by piece to avoid there horrible taxing. they take that advantage
australian aslo suffer of majoirty of population having ping to most of nation 300ms. some 250ms.
and soe lucky one. 200ms *
i have 5 friend in australia who buy from part. all time how ever. it up to you. buy crap stuff =)
us & canada price are almost the same : australian a bit different there money. it a little harder to build piece but i belive it not that hard.

Ati nah ? 667mhz nah ? video game? nah.!
im not talking it down. for nothing. i diss old ati video card. i diss dell for there over-pricing. i diss people who say yo man im buidling up a pc from dell 2500$ US : 8800GT : not sli : Q6600 2.8 ghz factory clcoked no possiblty to OC .
4GB of ram 800mhz : cheap motherbord : average pc case it just as led nor good airflow no water-cooling
and for exatly same price you got 2x 280GTX . 1 X E8500 : PC monitor 1920x1200 from dell . 24 inch . Best motherbord on market. 4GB of ram DDR3 2000mhz. Vista ultimate 64 bits. i mean it not comparable man !

then i showe hdim up alot of benchkar and stuff he canacled order. he got is money back he went to my store not far away of my home :) and he bough the ultimate pc he wanted and he like thx you i run cryis sall very high 1920x1200 : :P (yep all max setting) 30fps impossible before a ati 2600xT can't even run it 1024x720 (downgraded 1080i) at medium without lag if it can't do that it won't perform well on most of game

got msn ? il help you out.
what ur budget il watch with Australia if you get 300-500$ Biased
knowing dell probably 500$Biased
it take someone skilled as me or a little more skilled to save money i bet i can do that. omg it already 10:15 am in morning haven't sleep of night i being helping out people on forum all morning from 8h00 am haha.

you can pm ur instant messagner if you fell like instant chat is better then forum sometime. how ever up to you.
i can post and post. nothing problemme here it will just get over thousand page since i have to calculate. the budget you have
there can go forever without a budget you must a price around. 1200$? 1400$? with tax. or without tax.

Nah soz no msn my crap computer wont let me install it lol.

Just imagine i want to waste money i want to spend 1400 on the 530. If my current computer renders 5 mins of compressed HD for 3 hours. A computer with over 4 times more ram, much better graphics card, much much much better processer, shouldent it be much much faster?

Lol, r u still there?

Sorry for taking up so much of ur time, i appreciate u putting so much work into helping me though.
