Not only that but editing or cutting is the lessor part of the job as
far as power is concerned. Once you start to apply graphics and effects
to your HDV project that's when you'll be pleased you had lots of RAM.
On a well configured PC running Edius and Premier Pro, two gig of RAM is
adequate, but I'd still rather have four.
