Notes:
Transferring digital video. If you want to edit digital video you will need a firewire card to transfer your digital video to your computer. However if you have a newer type video camera it could possibly connect through a USB port on your computer, therefore you wouldn’t need a firewire. To edit video’s you will also need a decent graphics card to handle the work.
Gaming machine. You will need a good graphics card to be able to play big games without any hiccups. Especially if you want to play something like The Sims 3.
