Hello, my friends mum wants to do some basic video editing on family videos that they've filmed with Sony Vegas.

 

Here are her specs :

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz

PSU : 300W

Ram : 3Go

Mobo : Intel G45/G43

 

Does anything need tweaking to make basic editing possible without too much trouble or slowdown.

 

Thanks

 

How do you people know what to put here ?

Would the motherboard want changing ? Could she benefit from miniAtx

And, what AMD processor could go with it seeing as they are cheaper ? Would she need a small graphics card or do they have on board graphics

Should work for Movie Studio but will be quite slow and I shudder when contemplating render times. Will not work for Vegas Pro - needs a major upgrade - cpu, motherboard, probably o/s, & memory.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
