Ok here is my update after building a machine for vegas.
Basically I built the videoguys machine right here http://www.videoguys.com/Guide/E/Videoguys+DIY9+Its+Time+for+Sandy+Bridge+E/0xe9b142f408a2b03ab88144a434e88de7.aspx
Mine is the diy 8 in yellow. I did go with a bigger processor but same setup. After installing win7 pro and vegas I don't see much of a performance change on frames dropping on cuts and fades on footage (raw dslr from camera). Still get stuttering on good half/best half. Sporadic stuttering. If you run the same file over and over it will stop stuttering like it had finally caught up. Strange. I am using seagate drives in raid config off board as well. I am wondering if this is vegas or something else?
