Something odd here.

My kid has the fx5500 w/256M and it does fine on DVD editing. We also have this video edit "workstation" and it has some 4MB ATI GO video card.

My bet is some video driver is outdated and not the card.

Drivers...

That is strange because even after updating all the drivers some programs do not recognize my graphic card or it just starts to behave strange and finally generates a fatal error.
