I am needing to update my pc because of school and what I currently do, here is a list of programs i will be using
Video editing software (WINAVI, DVDLabPRO)
Audio Conversion (Fairstars)
Graphics editing (Macromedia Fireworks, Flash, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Illistrator)
Website design and programming (Macromedia Dreamweaver)
Video viewing (VLC Media Player)
and then just the basic burning of dvds and what most normal geeks do on their pc's, any recommendations? Im also thinking of 1-2GB for ram.
THANKS

As far as PC's go, AMD's are best the all around performance for both work and play. But the latest news of AMD falling can be a bit scary, but definitely AMD. If your interested and just wanted an opinion, (for notebooks) get Intel Centrino Duo. It's by far the best mobile processor around.

I run an Opteron 175, it's the same as a Athlon 4400+ except it's more stable and can be overlocked. When I play a video with the task manager cued, one process tree with shoot up 75% (video) and the other process tree will hang around 30% (audio)

Anything AMD 64 dual core will do that.
