What exactly are you doing anyway? If your just editing home movies with some off the shelf basic software, you'll be fine. I edited my wedding video on a laptop. It was a touch slow at times, and took forever to render, but it worked. I think it had a gig of ram, single processor, etc. BTW, stay away from Vista. It's a f'n nightmare. I see no reason to upgrade from XP until they fix Vista, which could be another 6 months at least.
I will check into it. Just poking around. A little Photoshop, video, surfing. Vista cost $172 taxes incl. What a piece of crap!
Oh, you'll be fine then I thought you were doing heavy video editing the way you started this thread.
Yea me too, I was thinking, dang, this guy would be a perfect candidate for that Microsoft multi-touch table.
No just fiddling with race clips and home video. I was looking for a toy more than anything. I saw those. 5-10k is a little steep though.
