Reformatting every time may cut the life of the card.

A friend of mine is looking into a new computer for video work. I am
guessing she is making videos of some sort, probably high resolution
stuff, and is seeking something that runs at 2.66 GHz or faster. I
guess that faster is always better for video, but would she truly

Proc speed isn't the only thing you would want for a video editing
machine. 2 to 3 gigs of RAM would be good for one.
And processing speed isn't completely determined by the processor.
The motherboard chipset/ bus is also an important factor. All you need

Apple uses the same Intel chips that many PC's use, so the same

Good points - amount of RAM, bus speeds and other design factors do play
their roles in determining performance. I would want at least a 7200
RPM HDD too (even faster are the 10K and 15K) connected via SAS or at
the least, SATA.
The issues described would also apply to a Mac Pro workstation

Typically when you are increasing processor speed a number of things
