Hey, I am going for a major upgrade. First of all here are my computers specifications:
- Intel Pentium 4, 3.2gHZ
- 250gb IDE Hard drive
- 1.5gb DDR Ram
- 128mb ATI Radion Graphics Card
(Compaq Presario: SR1278AN
Chipset: Intel 915P)
I am getting into video editing and need a more powerful computer. I am going to have to save a bit of $$. I am getting a new 22" lcd monitor for sure.
First of all I need a Core 2 Duo, I know this will help in video editing and the rendering time. But my motherboard doesn't take core 2 duo so i need to get a new one. I want DDR2 RAM too so i will need a cheap but not slow motherboard which takes ddr2 as well. Also can DDR ram go in DDR2 ram slots?
I have an IDE hdd and want to get a SATA 500gb but can i transfer ALL the files from my IDE to my new one including windows xp itself, i ave True Image. My computer can connect the IDE and the SATA hard drives.
I need a better graphics card too, can you please recommend where/what to get? And i live in aus
