i don't play WoW. about the only online game i still play is tribes , which is pretty fuckin' old (1998?)
so lets say, if i just wanted the lappy for editing is 6.5 and vdubmod while im at work or on the road, and internet browsing, would 128mb shared do the trick?
would my video just not render? would some programs not run at all? as i said, i'm not too hardware savy
Pfft. Do you have any idea how little your system uses the video memory when working on digital video programs? You'd get buy on 32mb of video memory for most tasks, unless you're doing After Effects with hardware accelerated rendering but that only (really) works on Nvidia cards.

If you want to run Premiere 6.5 and virtualdub to do basic editing you need next to nothing in terms of system requirements. You would want at least 512mb of system memory for the OS and if you work with a lot of lossless files probably more cause those things can be mean if you're ripping threw a lot of them. I was doing 640x480 AMVs in Premiere with Huffy's from Vdub with my P3@500mhz with 512mb of ram no problem. Only limit the slow CPU gave me was slow video encoding times upon completion of the project.
I'm doing editing with my Celeron M 1.3ghz laptop and it's pretty much excessive for editing except any After Effects rendering... But just about any computer isn't enough for that. T_T
