> ...another reason to upgrade your CPU

I've recently been looking into video editing on the PC. A lot of video cards these days support video capture. This allows for a relatively inexpensive means of editing your home videos if your CPU can handle it.

Since I became a Dad 8 months ago I've been shooting a lot of videos. The process sometimes consists of leaving the videocam on for a while waiting for a special baby moment. The end result is hours of video that contains only a few minutes of the special stuff that you really want to preserve. Hence the need for video editing.

I'm looking into a bunch of video cards for my next system upgrade. I noticed that even though these cards have onboard special purpose processors they are still CPU dependant. For example, notice that in order to achieve the "BEST" results ATI is recommending PIIIs (see the last table in the following link).

Also notice that with a PIII the card achieves smaller file sizes which would save you disk space.
