U need three specs rather the pointless things abv for evaluation. cpu-mem bandwidth, Cpu to Northbridge link speed for disk bandwidth (mostly not useful in clusters) and Cpu to South bridge link speed for the PCI bandwidth. One presumes the memory modules and pci cards are fast enough to cope. The graphics port on the north bridge will remain unused. Mobo without on board graphics would be much better as it will run cooler. Disabling graphics might not reduce power.
The application is as follows. Taking a video clip from a camera as well as a VTR, processing it in the machine and editing it. After edit, its converted to dvd for backup and broadcast. One second of uncompressed video is 50 MB in digital format. From all this data, how does one calculate the above 3 parameters.
