The video card probably won't be supported by Adobe - if you are considering the new version of premiere (which may also cost a fair bit).
So I'd assume that unless you want real pro features, the camera will be fine for you. Your computer will be a tad underpowered and under specified, but will probably do. The latest version of Premiere need 64 bit windows - is that on your machine? Unless you intend being really into production, it should work for you.
Negative points on my camera (I use it as a small backup) are vertical smear - pretty bad in low light when a bright light is in frame (think car headlights) and a somewhat slow zoom that is a bit unresponsive at slow speeds - and a manual focus system not worth even trying to use.
I love the pictures, though!
