[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1935752, member: 56379"] You gave us some good computer spec's/details in post #1...but didn't actually tell us what computer model it is. Sounds to me that it's either an older Apple portable computer...or a Mac-Mini. In either case the video hardware is not upgradeable in either of these computer types. Sounds like the RAM is upgradable...and the storage is upgradeable (that's all that can be upgraded). If you installed more RAM...and replaced the "spinner" HD with an SSD...these upgrades should help with some tasks & make the computer "feel" faster. But these upgrades will not turn it into a fast 4K video editing machine. As Raz0rEdge mentioned...take the money you would spend on upgrades for your current computer + additional...and get yourself a used M1 based Apple computer.:) Nick [/QUOTE]
