Highly unlikely you need more than 4 gigs of ram to edit most video. What type of video is it?
The desktop might work (again, what type of video?). Be sure to format the drives, or just replace them. You don't need special video cards to edit video. You may have to add a 1394 (firewire) card to it. On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 12:20 PM, Victor Subervi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi; > I need to build a machine that will enable me to edit video.
