I might probably do the whole RAM+Motherboard+processor upgrade which will cost me quite a bit...


From Bauzi:
Stop that nonsens!
It´s true, that RAM does a lot for editing, but well not that much as you think!

I take as example my PC and an older one of my partner Mac:

My PC:
3,42 Ghz
1 GB RAM
Example: Blasts every video... I work with 640x480 XviD files and my videostudio can work a tone of things, before it is overloaded...
A RAM about 2 GB maybe increases the power, but 3 GB would waste money!

Mac´s PC:
2,6 Ghz
256 RAM
Example: Well can also work with 640x480 files, but not at the same speed. The important difference between the two systems work quality are the RAM. The last one would need 1.0 GB RAM to be as good as the first... 2 GB RAM maybe makes a scence...

Your PC is not the best, because of the prozessor... The best RAM for you would be 1 GB and not 3 or 2! It would only waste money...
Well that´s my view of things... but please don´t do it!

I get adobe premiere pro slow down issues. when im editing in real time before the rendering more I do longer the render takes.
I have a amd3700 939 socket and 1gb of ram with a diamond max 10

how much ram would make a difference or should I just focus on cooling my cpu for overclocking

If your current amount of RAM gets completely filled up during editing, more RAM is a good thing. Otherwise, it's money down the shitter.
