Min Specs For HD Editing? iMac 24"?
I'm helping a friend buy a new PC, and I want to make sure she'll be able to use it to edit HD video sometime down the road without having to change the whole thing (she'll probably be using Avid). What'd be the optimal configuration for the price? For example, I think she could afford something like this, which coincidentally is almost exactly the same as the 24" iMac standard specs:
2.13GHz Core 2 Duo (Conroe)
2GB memory
250GB 16MB buffer Seagate hard drive
Does the graphics card matter? I had considered an nVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB.
For the OS I was thinking Windows 2000 would have less of a memory footprint.
