All i want is to use is windows xp home for the widows movie maker with “video capture” option… and some basic dvd burning software… i guess you can call them “home movies” basic… so basic it would make a quad core user cry… i dont need the bells and whistles… its for basic church video dvd making.. would this work… im more for high end stuff but would http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4360082&sku=V133-97000 I was told that if its not a 64bit OS a dual core will run like a single core… is that true? and would windows xp media center have the same version of movie maker with the “video capture” option” ohh and would it work with that pc?
im doing something i normally dont do and im making what i think is an impulse buy… would xp work on this or is it made for vista?

That PC will be more than enough for capturing video. Keep in mind that you also need a way to connect your video camera to the PC, whether that be with Firewire (which that PC *does not* have and would require a PCI adapter), a video capture card, etc.
You could really use any junker computer to record video; it doesn’t take very much CPU overhead to do. As for the actual video editing, that PC will still have more than enough power.
