How about that laptop in general?

It has:

i5 3210m 2.5ghz

NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)

Beats Audio

6GB memory

750gb 5400rpm HDD

Seems pretty solid for £400

[QUOTE="Amster_G"]

Seriously drop that RAM. Even for demanding programs you can get away with 8GB... or even 16GB if you absolutely must.

Yes, I know I have an unnecessary amount of memory myself as I only play games and do a little bit of HD editing but it was cheap!!!

What's wrong with having a lot of spare RAM? It wouldn't hurt your computer, amarite? I already bought it so it'd be silly not to use it, lol.

Yh, no idea why there so much hate for 32gb of ram, especially when you already have it (you would be damn crazy to not use it if you have it)

It will last you thats for sure so don't worry about the negatives the ram seems to be getting

[QUOTE="pickettsticket"][QUOTE="Xerxezz"]Thank you for the replies. I'd like to add that I do work with several memory-eating programs such as Cinema 4D, After Effects, etc.Xerxezz
then consider it not so overkill lol, will last you a good while though. How much was this PC if you don't mind me asking?

It costed me about 1700 Euros. I did, however, add an additional 16GB of RAM because it had room for that (the default setup was 16GB of RAM) and because a friend told me RAM is always welcome, especially in the editing business. By the way, isn't a 3770K good for gaming?

I have heard the 3770k will be able to get you 5-10 more fps, but it really is better for editing, and just generally the more powerful chip so yh it is better, hence the bigger price tag.

[QUOTE="Xerxezz"][QUOTE="MonsieurX"]Yes but 32gb ram is overkill for gaming But I'm still wondering why people ask opinions AFTER buying them

Why is it overkill? Is it bad to have more than enough RAM? I'm asking because I have ordered it but during the wait my brain's going paranoid and am thinking whether I've made the right choice or not because it was quite expensive.

overkill is just something you say when it is not needed or you will just never get round to using that much, that is however for gaming, if you do any editing you need a LOT of ram so that will serve you well.

Here is another program to edit with. It ranks along side Adobe, its used in both film and TV.

Thanks, but on adobe i can not for the life of me find after affects or premiere reduced in price. I am probably just completely missing it though. as for Avid Media composer ( i am assuming that is another option instead of premiere) Is there any stand out differences between the 2 pieces of software?
