Camcorder Bargains

asked:


When I plug it in, a popup comes up and says "cannot install driver" I do not know how to install it. The camcorder is a sanyo vpc fh1 and the CD that comes with it does not seem to help or explain.

My daughter (high school) wants to advertise and do home video editing over the summer for income. She was on the yearbook staff, is artistic, and enjoys picture and video editing. She would like to offer services to edit typical home video tapes and transfer to DVD. We have a digital Hi8 Camcorder for importing this format. We are looking at an iMAC and went online to configure and price. For budget purposes, I'm considering....

2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB memory
320GB hard drive1
8x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory

Here's my questions.

For this type of application, is the above ATI Radeon sufficient or do I need to jump to the 24" monitor to upgrade to the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 option?

Should we upgrade from 2GBto 4GB?

I plan on upgrading the hard drive to 500GB. Is that enough?

Is the iMovie software sufficient or should we get Final Cut Express 4?
