Sure you can learn a few things and tricks, but you just gotta have that mindset. \r\n \r\nHope you learn some cool stuff and have fun doing it!! | \r\n
\r\n
\r\nI\'d say at least 8gb.\r\n

\nFor real... I have 4gb of ram just to run win7 on my laptop. The more ram the smoother any editing machine will run\r\n

\r\n \r\n i built my pc with 8 gigs ram, i5 cpu, solid state hard drive, integrated video card, and bluray. All for about $800 after taxes. Building is easy, just find the right parts that are compatible with each other and you\'re golden. I sold it now though, went to macbook pro and never looked back lol
\n
\nbut dont go all out on parts, like saturnin said, the skills in you. I used to make vids like crazy, but have lost the drive lately

\r\n \r\n I have made the switch to mac across the board and couldn\'t be happier. However like sat said you have to use what\'s best available to you.
\n
\nIf your going to get serious about media production spend the money and build a machine that will perform.
\n
\nI recommend nothing less then an i5 or i7 processor and a gangster graphics card preferably Adobe verified NVIDIA powered.. Of course the more ram the better and lastly get some good base hard drives. Don\'t skimp on your externals either.\r\n
