Hello, I usually spend all my time searching for answers instead of first asking the question. So here goes trying something new. I have an HPa6200n set up for music production. Runs perfect for my music needs untill my recent need became editing videos. Now I have to find a solution as cheaply as possible. The specs are
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ 2.61ghz
Phoenix AwardBios v6.00
upgraded to 4gb of Ram
and I have upgraded the PSU to 500w
Dual Boot WinXp and Win7 32bit
and the weak link is my Geforce9500GtT video card
I need to do basic video editing in Sony Vegas Pro (that's what I have already) I am looking at a GTX550ti card. Cause it seems like a good deal here and anything is better than what I have. And that's where my knowledge stops. Where can I go with MINIMAL cost? Will just the card switch help me with MAJOR lag in editing only 1-2 channels of video? What are my options? I know very little in these areas. Thank you for anyone who can help.
