i am buying a new computer for personal use plus movies/music home video editing etc. after much research, this seems to be the best deal i found. i have ready many reviews which are mostly positive, but many users werent knowledgeable and complained about windows 7 instead of the unit itself.

heres my question:what do tech savvy people think of the specs in relation to the price?

here are the specs:
HP Pavilion P6310 Desktop
Processor AMD Athlon II 630 Quad-Core Processor
Memory (RAM) 6GB

thanks in advance for any input, (btw-i need a firewire port, which this unit has. great site, hope i have this in the right forum category.

Video editing realistically is far better off with a second hard drive, otherwise things tend to get a bit slow. You can't always add a second hard drive to those machines.

thanks for the heads up. should i be looking for a larger hard drive than 1tb for editing video? or is 2 seperate hard drives necessary for another reson than just size?
