New Computer for Video Editing. What do I do now?
Question by computerboy93: New Computer for Video Editing. What do I do now?
Hello! I recently bought a new computer to hopefully use it for video editing. I plan on doing this as a career in the future and would like all the practice I can get as a kid. Here are the System Specs (I’m not sure what some of these thing mean, lol):
eMachines T5088 Desktop PC
Windows Vista Home Basic
Intel Pentium 4 HT Processor; 3.20 GHz
512 MB DDR2 Dual Channel Capable
15 in 1 High Speed Digital Manager
160 GB SATA II; 7,200 RPM with 8 MB Cache
DVD(+,-)RW Multi-Format Double Layer Drive
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Up to 224 MB Shared Video Memory
PCI-Express slot available
I have no clue what most of that means. Go here to find more detailed system specs: http://emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=T5088
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do or buy to make this computer the best it can be for video editing and production? Also, any tips on cheap software besides Windows Movie Maker 6.0?
Thanks!
Kyle R.: I know it is a very basic computer. But I’m only 14 and that’s all I could afford, lol. I want to know what I can do with little or no money. I don’t have a job yet! I will upgrade that stuff eventually but not now because I’m broke!

lol get a better video card, more ram, faster processor, more hd space. Sorry but thats like very low grade for anything other than like browsing internet and 2d games.
Look for something with dual core processor (core 2 duo, amd x2) um around 2gb ram ddr2, and 300+ gb hd, and ask for a good graphics card for video editing.
