My old HP Box with 2.2ghrtz Asus dual core 64 bit mother board over heated and died. It was limited to I g ram and it ran hot at 225f. I was doing black and white video over an hour long and the machine was well over 200F when half way through. I put this temperature info in here as it may be of some use to others. I have a 2004 IBM Think Centre desktop. 3 ghtz quad core, with i386 processors. I plan to dedicate it as a video editing machine. It only has 512 MB of ram but I will upgrade to probably 2g or maybe 4 if I can get off the money. I have a 250G hard drive I can replace the old 120 G drive with it. This would seem a nice video editing box. I loaded a video on Cinelerra to see if could be run at all. It runs slowly and very jumpy. Would that likely be due to not having enough ram or is something else going on here? I am using AVlinux which I am liking a lot. I would appreciate any advice if anyone has any experience with these IBM machines that would indicate the machine might not be suitable. I also have a Dell dual core 64 bit 2.8 Ghtz machine that I could use as a dedicated machine instead. The only thing I see that could be a problem is the drive is small and the parts are all proprietary and the drives I have won't install to the Dell harnesses. I have been using ubuntu but am not crazy about the direction it is going and do like Avlinux desktop and configuration. I would appreciate any comments that any think might be helpful. Thanks, Doug Pollard
