How should I install XP pro for best performance on video editing.
Tnx
 
Install it on a computer with a very fast processor, lots of memory (say
1GB) and the biggest hard disk you can get.

I might add that is probably advantageous to reformat in NTFS instead of FAT32. Just make sure you back up your data first.

install it with a seperate partition for the swap files and any temp
files being created by the edit software.

install a second harddrive purely for the footage you are capturing.

do not install any anti-virus software unless you will be connecting
the edit machine to a network/internet

switch off the network connection and anti-virus while editing.

switch off write behind cacheing
switch off indexing on all drives.

visit www.computervideo.net where answers to all video editing
questions can be asked / answered.
