I'm upgrading my laptop because it's slow and causing my rendered/comressed/exported video playback to be slower than it should be, or at least I think that's what it's causing it to do. I'm looking for recommendations for it to render/compress properly with it slowing the video playback. Here are the specs:
It's an Ashton Digital Passport 2000 circa 2001 (give or take a year, I got it from a friend who got it from a friend)
Pentium III Processor
999 Mhz
256MB RAM (with maximum 512MB capicity, or so I researched)
If any more info needed I probably won't be able to respond during the weekend but I'll let ya know ASAP. I'm willing to spend at most $150.00 and want to use it at least one more year if it'll let me, ($200.00 if it'll increase the life expectancy another year or so from what I expect it to.) I'd get a new laptop, but I'm hurting on money right now. I'm also living in the bush (rural area) so there aren't any local places I can go to for recommendations and stuff. Thanks in advance
