Well, I have the following "equipment":
1) processor Pentium IV with 2.66 GHz.
2) 768 in RAM.
3) 30 of 80 GB in Hard Disk (HD).
4) Radeon 7000 with 32 bits.
5) an AGP mother board.
6) I'll be using Adobe Premiere Pro (not the version 1.5 nor 2.0).
I'm planning to buy hardware little by little. First (the next week), I might buy an 512 RAM stick (or whatever is the name for this part) and replace the 256 RAM I have. Then (the week after), I think of buying more memory for the HD (perhaps 80 GBs). Finally, I think I'll buy a Pentium IV up to 3.0 or higher (two weeks after the previous one). No, I'm not thinking to buy a Pentium Conroe even it's on sale on 'cuz it'll be very expensive (from 4,000 to 8,000 pesos, depending on the GHz, so I might buy it the next year).
The video card I'll be buying four or six months later I would like it to be an nVidia 9200 or 9700 (256 bits), but according to the guy who sold me the computer tells me that this needs an new mother board with PCI-express (or something like that) conection.
My question is, is it ok with the video card I have right now (so the only thing I buy is RAM, a faster processor and more HD space)? or if it's necesary to buy a better video card? I've investigated that the resolution needed for Adobe Premiere Pro is 1280 x 1024 (32 bits) or dual screen.
PD.: If you give me the price you don't need to worry about it, I've already checked it in pesos 'cuz I live in Mexico... I wouldn't stand the price in dollars since it is near 11.00 pesos per dollar.
