Confounded!

So several weeks ago I picked up this firewire thingy (did I post about this already?) so that I may download video from my DV cam to my PC. The only problem is I don't have a firewire port on my computer and when I hook it up through my USB port the whole computer just freezes up.

Am I gonna have to upgrade my PC completely or is there some kind of accessory that I can get that will allow me to actually, you know, put my camera to good use?

Firewire card? They're like $30.

Yeah, firewire card, but how much memory do you have?
    woody [email] said at 10:27 AM 05-12-2006:
    That's the great thing about Killoggs. If he forgets about the card, he can just come back here and check again.

    I don't know. The guy at Best Buy (yes I went to Best Buy) said I probably need more RAM. But I have no idea how to find out how much memory I have in the first place.

    All I know how to do is turn this thing on, get on the interweb, burn CDs, watch DVDs and turn it off.

      If you're running windows get to the control panel > system > on the general tab it will tell you your processor speed and next to it the amount of RAM you have.

        It says I have 504 MB...

          You will need much more.

          i'd recommend 2000 (2 GB) for video editing.

          also best case is to be editing the video files on a different hard drive than windows/your editing program/ the scratch disk for your video editor is. (basically, a drive just for the videos)

Have someone with a Mac do it for you, then ask them really nicely to burn a CD for you.
reggie [email] said at 8:19 PM 05-12-2006:
How 'bout something like this?
Ben said at 9:59 PM 05-12-2006:
I have never had a problem with video editing with 512 MB. You might want to check out ebay for firewire cards. I got a great one there for $12. Windows movie maker can capture video from DV cameras, but it won't be nearly as good quality as if you use actual video editing software.
