Peter, am not sure my experience'll help but I've run kxstudio 10.04.02 [kubuntu studio] that I credit to falkTx. That was after having built my own UbuStu 8.04.1; UbuStu 9.04 then 9.10 and having graduated it to UbuStu 10.04 My obj continues to be to cut and splice in-house videos and still photos for hobby, YouTube or DVD productions. About 12 months back, I threw in a Gig of Ram on a $205 Mirus P5GC-MX that I picked up on line in Jan 2008. For a while I tried to hog tie it while I had three SADA hds - 750 gig; 500 gig and the original 80 gig. The OSs have held their own, you understanding that an author-mediator-therapist who hobbies along, tends to just doggedly hang in. Like you, I have asked for help. Can't imagine the thunder you Xpect to make with an Athlon with 8gigs
At Goodwill over the past month, including today I have seen a bunch of $99.00 Bare Bones ASUSTek machines all with several Gigs of memory on a Video card, dual core, neat cooling fans and I believe 6/8 USBs w/out HDs. I picked up a IMac with a neat 2/3giv video card and today saw a low priced Dell decked with high performance video cards. I'd say if you look around a bit, what you awaits you. Have Fun!
