  no. But I''m looking at new computer specifically for use for gaming. Any recommendations?   [ Geek Ville | My LiveJournal | ThinkGeek ] ;  is that sarcasm?  seriously dude, i just need a recommendation for a school project, and possibly for when i actually get a new pc ;  Sorry, had to do it. Well, are you looking for Professional Editing systems or like decent editing systems. If you're looking into a decent video editing system, you can just soup up a machine with top-of-the-line equipment and install Adobe Premiere. The Apple G5s have an outstanding, professional quality, program called "Final Cut Pro." It's used by the film editors in movies and stuff.On the professional side, there are "Avid" systems which run in the high thousands of dollars. I wouldn't recommend them unless ur starting a busniess.Since you said you need a recommendation for a school project.....basically, you can just go to a website that custom builds PCs and choose top of the line stuff. The best processor, best RAM, best video card, and best sound card will be your main features. Just don't forget ur DVD-RW/CD-RW drive. That's a must have.Good luck.
