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
require that fast a processor for what will basically be amateur level
video work?
Professionals were doing video work on computers long before 2.66 gig
speeds were available, but this friend of mine has apparently become
convinced that such speeds are the minimum requirements these days. Of
course, such speeds require the latest machines and big bucks, so she
may be getting this advice from salespeople.
Any advice here on what she really needs to be looking at for video
work? She appears to want to gravitate to a Mac from being a long time
Windows user, but the cost of the latest Macs that run at or above 2.66
gigs is more than she wants to spend. Maybe if she really does not
need that much processor speed she can get a machine that will not be
so costly.
