Couple of Q’s on an HP build

Posted in: Hardware & Tech Talk
Hey Everyone,

I’m starting to get into 3d and visual effects and have decided to get a new HP. I’ll mainly be using it for Blender, photoshop, after effects, the trial version of nuke, and some yet-to-be-determined video editing app. You can see the specs and price below… I just have a few questions:

1. Would it be worth it to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate?

2. I thought DDR3 came in batches of 3 or 6 gigs, so why has HP decided to set the standard at 8? Should I upgrade to 9 or 12 GB?

3. Should I upgrade tthe graphics card to a 1.8GB NVidia Geforce GTX 260 for $150?

4. Anything else I should be concerned about?

Thanks!!
