Currently we are using Final Cut Express to quickly churn out thousands
of short 2D videos a year. It is time to upgrade/replace our towers and I
would like your opinion on which you would prefer (similar cost) and why.
We will also be evaluating Final Cut Pro.
The question is whether to go with two slower processors and a traditional
moving part drive for the software OR one faster processor and a solid
state drive. However, any other suggestions/ideas are welcome.
OPTION ONE:
One 3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor
16GB (4x4GB)

2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive
Two ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB
One 18x SuperDrive
OPTION TWO:
Two 2.40GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processors (12 cores)
