Computer Specs

[omenriver]

I have read the commented minimums of the software
but was curious as too what type of computers you are running

I am looking to purchase a new computer
and I am thinking Maxing out on RAM.
I am guessing a high end Video Card would help as well
[though I am unsure if that is in the budget ]

For Anime Studio you won't need a high end graphic card because it doesn't use the 3D engines.
Regarding the CPU it seems that it is not using multi core capabilities and that the application is a 32 bits one.

ANYWAY, when you buy a computer (the main workstation) you must invest in the maximum budget you can allow. Unless you are going to create a Studio and you need to buy several computers with minimum decent specifications.

Those are my specifications:

Mac - Mac Pro with twin 2.8Ghz Quad Cores with 8Gb RAM. NVidia GeForce 8800 GT with 512 MB RAM.

PC - Notebook with 2Ghz Dual core with 3.2 Gb RAM. NVidia GeForce 7600 GT with 256 MB RAM.

I primarily use my Mac now but I never had any issues with my notebook.

Dear all,

I will update my PC. Usually I do this every 2 years. Currently ANIME STUDIO job, PAINT TOOL SAI and edit my videos using SONY VIDEO STUDIO. I have never used tools for 3D modeling and animation but I would do when making this upgrade my CPU.

I've always had problems during the process of video editing. I wish to avoid the classic "crash" and lost everything done for hours.

I would appreciate your advice on:

MOTHERBOARD
MICROPROCESSOR
MEMORY HARD DISK
RAM MEMORY
GRAPHIC VIDEO CARD
AUDIO CARD

From already thank you very much.
