My computer is too slow for editing and burning the videos of my children.
The computer either gets bogged down and is way too slow or it just
freezes. What type of system should I look for that would help me edit the
videos with breeze? TIA.

What are the specs? You might just be able to add more memory.

It has 2 GB of RAM. Not a computer geek here. What else do I need to look
for?

More RAM. RAM is what helps the speed of the programs that you use on the
computer. No point having lots of hard drive space ie 80GB if you don't
have the speed to deal with all the information on it. At 2GB that's not
too bad but if you can upgrade to 4 that would be better. But it all
depends on your processor whether it's capable of being able to be upgraded
with more RAM. Your best bet is to print of your system stats and going
into a local computer place and asking them.

If you are planning on buying a new system go for as much RAM as they can
possibly fit into it, I would go for 8GB if I were buying a new computer It
might cost you a couple of hundred dollars extra but it would be worth it to
have speed be not an issue. Also get a computer with an actual graphics
card. Not just an inbuilt one like most computers have but an actual
graphics card that they will slot in for you. It will just make for a
better machine all around.

Thanks. I will keep an eye out for 8 GB and a graphics card.
