You don't want to know I used my Acer ter-600 laptop for on the road edits. It had a P3-600 MHz, 256MB RAM and you have much more.
Try it with what you have.

I am planning to buy a dig camcorder but don't want to get a new PC yet.
I have a Dell Pent 4, 1.4g with 512ram & 80 gig HD + 160G ext. HD. my question: Will the 1.4g pent. just be slow or will it affect quality? I will get a firewire card & would not mind increasing ram.
Any help will be appreciated.
