With out a standalone GPU (video card) you are wasting your time converting videos, on-board graphics suck. Instead of messing with external drives and firewire (Steve Jobs 'reach around')add a second 7200 rpm internal drive.

your CPU is a budget price driven component, a Yugo

The CPU is essentially a bargain chip, that's your bottleneck. you'd be much better off with a Phenom or an FX and can build a barebones kit based on one of those on Tigerdirect for under $300. What uclacardfan said about the video card is incorrect, you are processing video not rendering it so the GPU is irrelevant.

Assuming your motherboard will support a better CPU, you can spend
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...1351&CatId=332 $250 for a complete system
or
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...262&CatId=4432 $99 for the same chip by itself
For me it's worth it because of all the other crap in the package. For instance the barebones kit is running 1600Mhz RAM, according to cpuid yours is running 600Mhz, and that makes a HUGE difference.

Also since you'd be going from AMD to AMD you can (probably) just pop your old hard drive in there and let Windows pick up all the new drivers and you wouldn't even have to reinstall or anything
