i use the pc for gaming and video editing. either upgrade ram to 1gb or the video card to 256. also please comment if i do not need to upgrade my system as it is.|||If you ar really looking forward for video editing and gaming it is a good idea to upgrade your system. Video editing takes a lot of cpu, ram and disk space.
I believe that you need to upgrade your RAM first. All new applications require more RAM. Infact you will see a difference in speed once you upgrade your RAM.
Video RAM is actually important as you do lot of gaming. To get a real smooth video effect it is good to have a good video card with more Video Ram.
Now with video editing, you will find that 40 GB Hard disk is not enough. Video editing demands more disk space, as mostly you will transfer video to your hard disk before editing it.
Hope this helps...|||AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core Processor Memory - 1024 MB DDR-SDRAM400 RAM

then the pc gaming , power will fly|||It is RAM first.|||Well, that all depends on what you use it for. Video editing won't benefit from a new video card but gaming would. however both gaming and video editing would benefit from more RAM. I would have to know more about your model of video card though before I could say for sure. also if all you have is a 40GB hard drive than you may want to consider upgrading that as well. some games now can take up to 2GBs or more and video editing doesn't skimp on strorage usage either.|||Only a 40 gig hard drive? You can't be doing a lot of serious video editing with only a 40 gig hard drive, dude. If you want to get into a lot of long term projects, you need more hard drive space.
As for your other specs.... the 128 video card will serve you fine unless you get into serious 3D rendering programs or hardcore motion graphics.
I would upgrade your RAM, because RAM is what is used for rendering and other functions of video editing. I would try to get at least 2 gigs of RAM, if your motherboard can handle it. Anything less is slooooooooooooow.
I can't advise on the gaming side, however. I don't use my computers for serious gaming. I don't know the video card requirements for that stuff. But a good video editing machine with 2 gigs of RAM will serve most of your purposes for gaming I image....
Of course, so would a PS3 ;)|||If you get reasonable performance from it now, you might not need to upgrade. I think which you do first would depend on your specific needs. In general I would upgrade system RAM before the video, unless specific software you run needs better video.|||I'd always go for more RAM, I had 512 MB to begin with and upgraded to 1.5 GB RAM, it made a world of difference.|||Hi,
I would rather upgrade the RAM. With 128mb VGA you can edit videos etc. If your motherboard can handle 1024mb DDR2, it will be great. But if you really want to edit videos etc you maybe ran out of space 40GB is nothing if you really go into editing. And remember it all depents on what software you using to edit. If you going to use Pinnacle Studio, you have to beef up your PC
Good Luck
