DVD Lab Pro 2
My system:
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe MB
AMD AthlonXP 3200 CPU
I Gig RAM
Matrox P750 (64 Meg) AGP Video Card

I am thinking to add and extra Gig of Ram and replace the Matrox Video Card.

So I'm guessing that you are editing DV material now, and want to do HDV? I'm also guessing that the SD is slow going, if any effects are added. HD will totally bog down this system. Seriously, I think you need to start thinking about new MB/CPU/RAM for HD work, even HDV.
I'm surprised that graphics card drives the Dell 24" LCD monitor.
But if you are in fact sticking with the current PC and the graphics card does drive that monitor fine, then stick with the that card. I would think the RAM is definitely a good choice, and you might want to look into a new CPU. I think that MB will take a 4000 as well as the 3200. I just don't know if it is worth the cost once you look at some of the new MBs and Processors.
