I have a Celeron processor (2.2 GHz) running alongside 256MB of RAM at
home. It drives KDE, which is known to be a resource hog. Yet, the operat-
ing system is very responsive. If I enable fancy bits like fade-in/out ef-
fects, shadows and window translucency, that power is gone, but these ele-
ments are notorious CPU murders. If you typically view and edit individual
frames of a film, I suspect you will need a lot of memory, not a high-per-
formance CPU.
Speaking from experience, people buy processors that are far stronger than
necessary. These processors are often crippled by plagued Windows
Registries. In other occasions, they compensate for unavailable memory
and/or programs that are badly (inefficiently) built.
Hope it helps,
Roy
