Need Advice Before Purchacing New Computers

[peawie]

Hello,

 

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but since we are planning to purchase Roxio 9, I hope someone will take pity on me and help us out.

 

Our school plans to purchase a couple of new computers which will be used for video and digital photo editing, VideoWave creations and DVD burning. Can anyone advise me on the ideal specs to ask for. What processor speed, graphics and sound cards, and memory to get.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would go with a 2Ghz processor and at least 512mb of ram. I am thinking about upgrading to 1Gb just to make programs run smoother.

If you're doing any serious video work, even 512 of ram won't cut it unless you've got lots of patience.

I would agree. Most computers that stores sell now days include at least 1gb of ram.

Roxio also make a great product named Toast for use with MACs. If the schools is not married to pc, you might want to consider this also. Some MACs run Windows software..
