Well, here's the deal guys, I've been looking into buying a new computer because of the simple fact that my laptop just can't handle the stress anymore. I've done quite a bit of research and to tell you the truth, I'm still pretty confused as to what's important and what's not important for a video-editing system. Most people say that a video-editing system should have similar specs to a gaming system for the most efficiency, but some say that a lot of things are just totally overrated and there's really no need for certain things (Like the difference between 3.0 ghz and 3.2 ghz or the difference between 3200+ and 3600+, or even the difference between AMD and Intel). Supposedly the people that find large differences are just huge computer buffs that want to learn the world with their computer lingo. I'm just so lost, lol.
I am not going to make my own computer, so I figured it'd be a good idea to just grab a decent computer within my pricerange that can be upgraded right away to support my video-editing cravings. The ones I was debating on is the Emachines T6212 (I wouldn't have even considered Emachines before this new model, trust me) and the Dell 8400 with a gig of ram and a 200 gig HD. Which would you choose out of the two?
If there are some other computer packages out there with better performance for what I need then feel free to let me know! Thanks everyone.
