\"multimedia<\/p>\n

There are a few types of workstation computers<\/a>. Multimedia workstations are probably the most unique. They typically have a much different set of components not seen in other systems. Below we will cover some of the common parts you should look for.<\/p>\n

Multimedia Workstation Components<\/h2>\n

Processor: High core count CPU\u2019s capable of handling video editing software, encoding, and rendering duty.<\/p>\n

RAM:<\/strong> Multimedia applications require large amounts of RAM<\/a>. These systems typically start at 32GB and can go up over 512GB.<\/p>\n
