How do u make AMVs without the Windows Movie Maker?

That's why you don't even bother scanning the clips, just use a bit of math and figure out how long frames 12000-13000 are going to be and go from there. Observe final output. Attach appropriate music.

Be carefull with such an absolute statement. Depending on the system configuration, adding more RAM can have more effect for editing than upgrading the CPU. The less RAM is installed the more effect has adding RAM because the use of virtual memory will slow down your system more than a CPU-upgrade can compensate. Replacing 256MB SD-RAM with 512 MB DDR-RAM gave my editing a real speed increase and it raised the stability. It was comparable with the increase that I got from replacing the 1.2 GHz Duron with an AthlonXP-M 2600+. The speed increase from adding additional 512MB was much less remarkable, but it helps if many or complex effects are applied. For some effects even the 1 GB is too less, but it's the limit of my mainboard.

thats why i said "to a degree" if you have 256mb of ram, upgrading to 1gb is going to help. but if you already have like 512mb to 1gb, then it wont be as significant like you said. Before i upgraded my CPU i upgraded to 2gb from 1gb and i had very little, noticeable, performance gain. sure i could do more without hitting the page file but again, not much. now I'm back to 1gb and my performance with the new cpu is much much much better.

more memory is great, but if you have to wait for the system to render out the frame(s) anyway, more ram isn't going to help you. thats my opinion.

On the topic of running large programs on low amounts of ram.. it's all a matter of patience from my experiences..
My older computer, laggy as hell with very little ram (not sure how much..), can still run and edit things, it just takes a little longer to load whatever I do. :/

More ram is as said definately a good thing, but it doesn't really limit editing that much.

I made Utena (Story of a Girl) and Arima to Miyazawa on a 300Mhz Celeron Processor with 64MB of RAM (a 1999 Campaq Presario), and it ran Premiere 6 just fine.

I had quality issues with ripping DVDs and capturing footage, but the editing was easy enough.

I applaud^
My 333Mhz Celeron couldn't even playback video files.
Only thing it was good for was Starcraft.

I don't believe in Santa anymore. I stopped since i was 7. -_-

if your pc has like 512 gb of ram and about 800mhz, that should be ok with abobe 6.0 and a little patience.

i wish i had 512 GB of ram... but 512 MB would work just fine

I used to edit on a 700 mhz P3, 256 mb ram comp, runing premeire 6.0 just fine!
i upgraded last year to a 1 ghz athalon 512 MB ram comp... ran premiere 6.0, after effects 5.5 and more just fine.
i now edit on my laptop running a 1.9 ghz sempron 512 mb ram running premeire 6.5, after effects 5.5 and much much more... just fine!

little patience goes a long way!
