Hey guys, I did an upgrade at a hospital cat scan computer at work and was able to take the old computers home. I'm just looking into my options to see if I could through $150-$400 into it and turn it decent video editing computer. The model is a fujitsu-siemens primergy 470 with (motherboard) system board D1031.
CPU: Dual Pentium III 800MHz
I/O Options: 32-bit PCI slots (5)(NOT PCI-E), AGP slot, Ultra-SCSI Wide interface, SCSI interfaces (2), serial ports (2), ATX power connecdtor, & RAID slot
RAM: 2GB of PC100 ECC SDRAM 168-pin DIMM memory
I know this is a old computer and might not be worth throughing too much $ inot but just thought I'd see what you guys think. The monitor I have is a dell 2405fpw with 1920x1200 max res. Any recommendations on graphic cards etc.
