Default How well equipped am i?

I'm running on an HP DV5000 Notebook

With:
- AMD Turion 64 2.00 GHz Processor
- 2 GB RAM
- 120 GB Harddrive
- CD/DVD RW+ Lightscibe Drive
- Windows XP Media Center Edition
- 14" Widescreen Display ( I think it's 14)
- ATI Radeon Xpress 200M

It's a great computer, i cant complain, it's completed every task i've set it to tremendously.

Just wondering what yall think of my setup.

Thanks!

I think you will be able to video edit on it but it will clunky and renders will be slow.

I can agree with that.

I've got a 2.59Ghz Intel Celeron with 768mb ram and I rendered a 4 second video clip using EffectsLab pro and it took 20minutes.

Welcome to the board Nick.

A celeron is a bit pushed for most video stuff - you would be well advised to upgrade if you can.

You would get a useful performance increase for video work by upgrading.

I dont mean to be presumptuous but if you are strapped for cash there always s/h bargains to be had - something like fast sh p4 / amd would do the trick.

They may not clock much faster but I am pretty sure the number crunching speed on celerons isnt that good.
