I have a Windows XP, 80 GB Hard Drive, 736 MB of RAM, 1.39 GHz. But when it comes to editing music and videos it sucks and its so f**#ing slow. Help?

I don't run more than 1 application at a time, so I don't know what the hell.

You need a slightly faster processor. Also, it doesn't help if you are running 20 applications in the background.

The problem lies in your processor. 1.39 GHZ is really slow, especially if it's an Intel celeron or Pentium! A 1.39 GHZ single core AMD wouldn't be as slow. If you want to buy a new computer, I suggest going over to ibuypower.com. They'll hook you up, or you could try your hand at building yourself a computer, save hundreds of dollars. If you do go to ibuypower.com, make sure to get a good graphics card, it takes the load off of editing videos. Do not buy a better processor without doing research, there are many sockets for processors, and you could end up buying the wrong one. Also, even if it fits the socket, the motherboard might not be able to handle the speeds it goes!

This is the best;
The Toshiba Satellite X205 is a high-end multimedia notebook designed for enthusiasts wanting the best of both the high-definition and gaming worlds. Despite being larger than a typical 17” notebook, the X205 looks modern and visually refreshing. It runs cool and quiet and is a great overall performer. A fabulous set of harman/kardon speakers, an HD DVD-ROM drive, a plethora of multimedia ports, and the latest and greatest Nvidia DirectX 10 graphics card make the X205 a very complete package, especially at the $1,999 price point. The X205-S9349 is a well-rounded entertainment system with all the bells and whistles, and I do not hesitate to give it my full recommendation.

One of the new Apple Mac systems. Check out these entry-level specs on the Mac Pro hardware:
* Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest" processors
* 1GB memory (667MHz DDR2 ECC fully buffered DIMM)
* NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics with 256MB memory
* 250GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive
* 16x double-layer SuperDrive
Thats the entry-level, baby :) You can boost these up to a blistering 2 x quad-core Xeons with 16GB RAM. Thats some fast iron!
Better still, you can also upgrade to the Mac operating system (the industry standard for audio/video work).

Toshibas are good for anything. Pick one or more from their website.
