Casual user - Overkill? Would using the Intuos3 6x8 be overkill for what I need?

Intuos is a highly pressure sensitive tablet. If you're just doing mid level work you're probably better of using a graphire instead. I find intuos to be more of an illustrator's tablet than a digital touch up.

A middle ground 6x8 is fine. You want to consider how much of your workspace you want taken up when you get a large tablet.If you are an illustrator that works large, it's better to get a 6x8 or greater. If you find it a bit too large you can map your tablet down to a smaller work area. Getting something too small is a bit worse than something that is a little big.

What operating system do you plan on using? Windows 7 64 Bit= probably not, unless you are playing high end games or using CAD related programs. Windows 8= it would be worth the investment. I'm running 16 Gb of RAM with a Sabertooth on a high demand CAD machine with Windows 7, and the performance is outstanding. I'm also running 8 Gb of RAM on a Sabertooth with Windows 8 in a Premiere/After Effects/Photoshop environment and I'm purchasing 8 more Gb's to improve the performance.

Yes it would affect performance, it is best to put 2 of the same type at the same time in. Like running your 2x4gb or 2x8gb.Also if you are not running a 64bit system it would be useless to do it

yes but archicad recommends a quad core, we do have them, it does meet the minimum requirements but it may be slow.

8 gigs will run pretty much watever a normal person would do. You can probably even get away with 4 if you dont plan to do anything intense.

It's an ideal machine. Since you're working with video, you might want to make sure the ram is maxed out if it's not already. 8 gigs is max.

giving that it's coming with win8, you better use it. 32bit can't use more than 4gig of ram, and is not in use these days so there is really no point for using it..im using the default and very happy with it

you can use the single 8GB stick. As mentioned elsewhere, it will probably run a bit faster with 2 sticks of 4 (as long as you aren't using slower memory).

I would think if your only printing 6.5x11 or smaller this would not be worth the investment. For non photo printing any good quality scanner should work. Also with 8 different ink tanks the cost of maintaining ink may be higher and unnecessary if not used for photos. That's my 2 cents.

that is good;a 8g sd for jpeg and 16g cf for raw should does the job for casual me

Nope, I ran it with 1 4gb dim And 3 mixed dims. Use whatever combo you want!

I haven't tried using for anything of sort, and I'm still figuring out the settings. But I wouldn't think it's best one for more intricate stuff, and the space is pretty limited. So it may pay off for you to invest in smtg bigger and better. I'm mainly using it for toast so i figured smtg basic would do. Hope this helps some...

I recommended the Line 6 UX2! Awesome interface, easy to use, looks awesome as well. And cheap!

Sure. It's a pretty massive monitor, so just using it for email might be a bit of overkill. One very nice feature is that it;s almost as good as having two monitors, because there's plenty of screen space to have two windows open side-by-side. I use a lot of spreadsheets, and I need to jump back and forth between programs, so it's particularly good for me.

Ns7fx is perfect for all that. It gives u the freedom to go hard without worrying about hardware. But your gonna need a computer with allot of ram if.your gonna be going hard. A cooling fan. Or preferably a mac book pro. A sound processor and crossover so sending all that peaking to your speakers(you will blow a few)

It can't hurt. I redo it once a year or so (If I even keep a CPU that long), whichay be considered overkill by some. It only takes a few minutes.
