Hi Jon,

Thank you for your quick response 🙂

I am actually looking now for an interim solution until i can afford a new pc. Reason being i have the use of uni pcs until Jan and need a comp to do some editing work. The work will be nightclub footage that will be condensed from 2 hrs or so to 2 – 8 mins of footage.. See http://www.roughhill.co.uk homepage for an example)

I have tonight managed to get a free 4gb ram upgrade from a friend who had/has a 5150 and now has a new pc so it’s going spare (its the recomended upgrade from dell and works great apparently)

So i was thiking that now i can buy parts that would be transferable to a new pc build in the not so distant future.

Seagate 500GB Barracuda SATA II 3007 200rpm 32MB cache Hard Drive @ £40 and

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI-E OEM @ £100

Like i said both transferable to a new build pc (i believe???)

Would this be sufficient for the mean time in your opinion? And for the money is that the best graphics card to get to run cs4 software?

Again in advance many thanks for any advice/help

Regards
