Do you have VS11 installed? If so you should also have the User Guide. Open it up and go to the Getting Started chapter, and you'll find the System Requirements for VS11.

If you do not have VS11 installed yet, you can download the User guide from the list found in the following forum:

Hi Paul,

you live up the far north so I don;t know how remote you may be or you might be in the middle of Townsville.

If you head over to your local newsagent there are a couple of PC mags you can pick up.

PC Authority

PC Users

and for the extreme but informative. Atomic

They also have websites and in all three above they part with good info for the Budget, Gamer & Enthusiast levels of configuration.

Software PC requirements rarely offer what sort of motherboard you should have....but I think it's a very important part as your whole upgradeability is limited by the type of MB you have.

Upgradeability of your hardware is important...as you will no doubt expand in the future and you get pushed towards High Definition video work.

Best advice I can give at the moment is to shop around and don;t be afraid to go online

Hmm, seems a bit low-end perhaps!

If the OP only needs to do standard definition editing of either DV avi or mpeg2 footage, there's nothing wrong with his present system, significantly faster than my old P4 which still handles stadard definition editing with no problems.

Hmm well could have gone the Core I7 965 and another 6gb or so of ram??

Or maybe try the Nvidia Tesla ? 250X power of a PC !!
