Also, the newer versions of vegas (up to 9.0 currently) are for all intents and purposes the same as 7.0, I wouldn't bother upgrading.

Just for clarification, Vegas Pro only goes up to version 8. Vegas Movie Studio (the lesser version) goes to 9.

Regardless, Vivaldi's point still stands. The differences between Pro 7 and Pro 8 are negligible, especially when concerned with AMVs.
... yea ...

A new computer with Windows Vista™ comes with an updated version of Windows Movie Maker. :wink:

Heck, a new $500 computer can get you a 2GHz+ dual core processor, up to 4GB of RAM, a 500GB or larger HDD, and Vista Home Premium. You could also get discrete Nvidia or ATI graphics.

At the very least, I'd also suggest a RAM upgrade (to at least 2GB) plus a bigger HDD (1TB is my sweet spot), add AE and keep Vegas 7.

With windows 7 right around the corner, wouldn't this be bad timing to go and get vista?

yea, I definitely think you should upgrade to a new computer and think that it's fits perfectly with in your budget. I recommend AE and photoshop. You can get these in a suite with premiere also. Like other people said they're isnt a big difference in the new vegas versions and it seems like nothing else will run on your computer properly without an upgrade.

Windows 7 was just a Beta version and I liked it; soo much smaller than XP3 or Vista.

While your out looking at things, don't forget to check-out the new 1.5 Terra-Byte
USB hard drives .. for actual video editing room.

Truth is, that no matter what system you get -- Hard Drive space is always the most expensive.
