I could not find anything at that link to tell me
the video card did NOT use
system memory and because it is an integrated
card it most likely uses
system memory... up to possibly 256MB.
The +, -, DL and RAM are all types of DVD discs.
DL is dual layer and holds
twice as much as a nornal DVD. All computers I
have seen lately that have a
DVD burner, can burn all but the RAM discs and
some can even burn those.
With your interest in movie editing I would
either upgrade to a DVD Burner
capable of +, -, and DL or plan to add an
external one at your first
opportunity (cost is about 100 bucks or less at
Wal_mart).
I don't know anything about DVD-RAM discs and
what I read at Wikipedia and
webopedia did not give me the confidence to talk
about them here. I hope
someone here will chime in on that topic.
Also, if you expect your movie editing to get
more and more intensive you
should have at least 2GB of RAM and have a
motherboard that will allow you
to upgrade to as much as 4GB. Of course, by the
time you need 4GB of RAM,
new editing technology will have been developed
and you will actuall need 8
GB instead... but you wanted a good excuse to buy
a new computer anyway.
