My comp is old. I've upgraded the RAM to over a gig, upped the power supply to 500w, got a descent video card for it's time, and this beast has served me well over the years. I am thinking upgrade to enable faster response for the simulator, and now, video editing. So basically just faster and able to multitask with fluidity, but I'm not quite sure which route to go. I suspect there is a choke at the processor. Would I be better off getting a new motherboard or a new cpu, or if the newer stuff is not compatible with the older system, new board and processor? I'm confused but here are my specs if anyone can help me to decide, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
