[QUOTE="droflex, post: 992802, member: 133682"] I have a similar machine. 2.8Ghz, 2G ram, 320HD and 2600 Pro. From what I know. Mine, and the unit your considering, where made between mid '07 and mid '08. I bought mine used and it came with about $500 worth of extra software and an external 250G harddrive. I paid $1200 for it about 4 months ago and the extended warranty is good until mid 2013. The "going rate" for similar machines was comparable but the extras made me buy the one that I have. I figured it was a fair deal. The 2600 Pro is considered a decent GPU but nothing to write home about. I've read that for a dedicated gaming machine there are better choices. If video editing is anything like intensive gaming, you may wish for a GPU with at least 512mb. I consider the overall performance of the machine excellent. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
