Hey, I just bought a new digital camera and editing the video footage works great with the software.. if the video is under 30 seconds. Uploading and editing is very choppy and takes a long time to format if it gets to about a minute or more. Right now i have a pentium 3 with 6 MHz, (or .6 GHz), around 800 ram. Not sure about the motherboard. To get things moving a lot faster, im sure i have to get a faster processor like a pentium 4 2.0+ ghz. in order to do this do i have to get a whole new motherboard and new ram. Any other suggestions? I dont plan on getting a whole new computer just upgrading this one, i have right now a windows xp T600 (made in 1998 i think)

Jump to PostYeah if you are going for an upgrade you have to change your motherboard, processor and RAM at a minimum. Something else you need to consider is your video card. If it is built-in to your motherboard then you are going to need one.

Of course, equivalent boards from other manufacturers are suitable alternatives as well.
Jump to PostIf you have a GeForce2 display card it should be fine for video editing, although it's getting to 'long in the tooth' for Gaming. Is it a PCI slot card or an AGP slot card, do you know?
