Things are taking too long with my old PC (5 years old), 0.5M RAM and 1.67 GHz processor.

I did see this spec, but it offers Windows Media Centre and I would still like to do normal stuf
on my PC(e-mails, Programming, Word etc), not just Premier Pro video editing.

Any comments please.

Graham.

Looka slike it'll do the job. I edit on a spec not too dissimilar. I've added some more RAM (relatively) recently though.

For video editting you'll need another disk drive. Keep one drive for the OS and s/w and one for video and premiere proiects.

May have missed it on reading but...whats the price...to be honest I had an emachine a few years back and it died....lol...you get what you paid for...wonder why this one is "refurbished"...I've changed to Dell completely now and they do some pretty hi spec units....we currently have 2 desktops and 2 laptops from them...there are bargains out there...and sometimes price shouldn't really be the governing factor...

The price was £351.32 including VAT.

With all the hassle of putting on all the softwrae don't want to have problems with the build and sending it back.

Thanks for the info.
