Can you suggest a spec for doing video editing?

[zx2012]

What would you suggest is the lowest spec for a pc to do video editing?

 

Although we're a small primary school, we mamage to produce stacks of multimedia, some 14,000 files since September. Most are photos but there are 000s of video files too.

 

We used a SonyCam and FlipCams which produce MP4 files.

 

So far we've only bought Dell Optiplexes.

 

What is the minimum spec for doing this in terms of processor, memory and video card?

 

We don't have Windows 7 yet but may have later this year.

Dual core processor with 2+GB or memory. Any video card would be alright as longs its not on board. (a £50 ATI/Nvidia would do it.

 

All depends on your budget really.
