I tried to make a "Magic Movie" earlier today and the audio kept cutting out. Also, sometimes the video image "froze". The amount of RAM is 512 MB - do I need more, or do I have a problem with my Firewire cable, or both? The computer's clock speed is 1.5 GHz, and I think the hard drive speed is 4,200 rpm, but it might be 5,200 rpm (not quite sure at this time - will check later). Any help? I'm trying to make a basic music video, and no sound = this ain't right! Help!!! Thanks!!!
Forgot - all programs other than the video recording program were closed.

Your RAM is fine, trust me. 512 megs is more than enough. If I were you I'd try fixing the cable.

Hello Paul Hxyz,
Yes, I think that you put your finger on it. Adding more RAM will definitely make your Mac be more responsive and work better and faster. I don't know what you money situation is, but I recommend buying the maximum amount of RAM that you can. You will really see the difference.
Best of luck to you, Paul.
