The best deal to rip dvd is an AMD cpu because they are cheaper and the better software to do it, flaskmpg, is best optimized to AMD. However, I don't know if xp2000 is the best deal since it is pretty new and it's price is still high, you don't need so much power to rip dvds, although the convertion to mpg1/2 requires a lot of cpu power. If you plan to capture DV, get some info about the sb1394 port in Audigy soun card because it is cheap and as that funcionallity that costs a lot in a standalone card. Dual cpu systems are also good if you plan to keep working with your machine while it is under heavy load, although it is a costly option and you can just change the task priority to "low" if want to be able to use the machine under that condition.
