When you take a video camera then hook it to your system , say after you video taped something to be converted to a DVD, for a DVD type movie presentation or the other way around. How much rendering does the GPU do and will say a 6400+ and 4 gb of memory help pick up the slack. I added a total of 4 gb to this vista ultima system and vista flys. The onboard video card is a ati x1250 with 512mb systems ram allocated to it,and vista rates it at about a 3.7. The Cpu is rated at 5.8, ram at 5.9, with 3.5gb allocated to system, hardrive 5.9 160gb .I'm wondering how this will effect rendering and encoding. This onboard video card supports hybrid crossfire or surroundview. It seems about as fast as a x6800 was from geforce in benches and rendering. I was thinking of running a 3650 in hybrid crossfire it help speed it up. no games are being played on this just video editing and movie making. Here are some conversion tables and a review on the motherboard and video card. money is a issue here.

here was the final build but I added 2.g more of ram, and it was built about 3 weeks ago.
