Hello,

first of all thank you for providing this forum, I am very new to this, having only worked with "Windows Movie Maker".

I want to take a big step up to HD and am going to get one of those new Sony HD cameras. However I will need a new computer probably to keep up with whatever editing software I buy (probably vegas since it's cheap)

I was looking at this computer at NewEgg, it seemed like a good value and got good reviews. My biggest concern is some sort of compatability issue, or maybe it's lacking necessary hardware to get the HD video off the camera and onto the hard drive I really don't know.

Thank you to the forum members who have more expertise than I do, maybe I am asking a stupid question but I don't want to make a critical error with so much money.
