I've been asked to spec a decent shuttle for video editing and what not at work.

I dont know and Ive never known the preference when it comes to AMD or Pentium, so is there one in this case? I think we'll be wanting SATA and at least 2gb of memory too so are there any recommendations as to what shuttle to get?

Also graphics cards - will a 9800 pro and the like be sufficient? (never been too sure how much graphics card power video editing actually takes)
