Hi there,
I built a mate of mine a computer a year or so ago, wasn't the best spec but suited his budget at the time.
AMD II X4 630 4GB with a gt240 1GB graphics card
But now he's got into video editing with Adobe Premier pro etc, and thinks that the graphics card isn't coping with the HD video as sometimes the video appears like a zig-zag kinda thing, although normally only when its capturing it off the camera via firewire.
Anyway the question is, I dont think a graphics card has much input on video editing? No where near as much as games for example and I'm just thinking some more ram would perhaps improve his experience.
What would you guys suggest to improve capturing the video off the camera and playing big movies? He thinks graphics card, Id say more cores personally but he doesn't want to spend too much so perhaps just upgrade the ram?
Thanks
Josh
