Unless you are running a 64bit operating system, about 4GB RAM is all it can use with a 32 bit OS. Over 4GB isn't accessed If you have Vista 64 or XP 64, you can run just about all you want. But it likely won't speed up encoding or editing much if at all. But if the PC came with 6GB RAM, it's probably a 64bit OS.

Video cards are mostly for playback. Some newer ATI and Nvidia video cards have hardware acceleration and can assist with the video processing and encoding, freeing up some CPU power. If you use the PC for gaming, then a faster video card will help those applications a lot.

i forgot to say

cpu:double processors

So... what kind of CPU is there? A dual core? Intel? AMD?
What kind of graphics card?

The exact names will tell if the PC is any good for video/gaming or not.
By the way, the price is cheap for any power PC.

Yes, but is it a 64-bit OS ?
