making my Memory faster

Hi there,
first of all i am a new user of the site and i would just like to say what a fabulous site this is.
now lets get busy
I like to edit videos, but my editing software is quite slow.

ok geogre my little friend here are two things i would like to know
1 how much ram you have. you can find this out by right clicking on the my computer icon and going to properties

the second thing is how much space you have left on you pc beacause the more crap you have on it the slower it is going to go

your friendly homless bum

Video editing requires loads of memory! And that is all it really does need. The more memory the smother playback of videos will be, how smooth you need it, really depends on the type of film you are editing. For example if you are using a common digital camera, I suggest at least 2 GB of RAM (memory/random access memory), for high definition at least 4 GB. This ensures smooth playback of videos while editing. To install RAM simply visit your local computer techies and they would be happy to install more memory for a fee starting at $50.00 depending on the amount you want.

ive found out that apparently my computer lies about how much ram it has. it sais i have 192 mb. i might get a external hard drive(500GB) i found one for $100. and maybe increase the ram later on.

Generally all computers dont have the specified amount of Ram this is due to your OS taking up a lot of it. Good luck, maybe reset your computer if possible.

:lol!:

im getting my ram upgraded so now it will be like 2.5 gb also getting my processer. i know its still crap but now i can play higher quality videos which i take on my video camera. before it kept on lagging

Perhaps you should go somewhere and take your camera in with some footage and see if it makes a difference, you dont want to go and buy something that isn't going to change anything..
