I'm about to upgrade my ageing Celeron 400 & m/board.
Can anyone comment on if this setup will be any good?
The Motherboard/CPU I am looking at is:
Gigabyte GA-7ZXR & AMD 850 T'Bird.
I currently have Matrox G400 Marvel with 2 Seagate Baracuda HDD's (UDMA66 7200rpm, 1 @ 20Gb (used for operating system - Win98 and file storage), other @ 30Gb partitioned for video capture & backups of other drive).
The 30Gig is partitioned as Primary 20Gb video only, ext partition 10Gb for backup.
Do the Gigabyte/AMD combo work well with the G400?
All my editing is currently either analogue from TV/Camcorder source, or DVD ripping to VCD.
I hope in a year or so to go DV.
Thanks for any constructive comments

Yeah, that sounds ok. GA's have been known to be pretty stable and the dual BIOS comes in handy if you screw up a BIOS update. However, the GA isn't an overclocking board (as I remember). If you pay a little more for an Abit, Asus, Iwill, etc (any board which overclocks WELL), you can increase your speed without paying more for your CPU.
Also, even if you DON'T overclock, get a good heatsink. Not that golden orb or OEM crap. Durons produce a lot of heat.
