Guy I have the intention of going with 4GB of memory for a new video editing system, but should I just get 2GB of DDR3 2000 instead and would that be about the same if not faster then 4GB of DDR2 1200?

You should go with 4 gigs of RAM for video editing. I would go with DDR2, there wont be any noticeable difference with DDR3. When i use premiere pro it easily uses 3.8 gigs so 2 won't be enough.
