I'd suggest getting another 2GB of memory to boost you up to 4GB. It's what I currently run on.

If you're a heavy video editor, I suggest a core i5/i7.
Apart from that, just a cpu and ram upgrade would do.

Does your current system really have both an Intel and an AMD CPU?

This seems to be the only useful post in this thread (apart from Met's suggestion to upgrade RAM, but CPU is more important than RAM if youre doing heavy video editing/gaming.

I mentioned the RAM in particular because he said about doing lots of photo editing, and large images can eat up stupid amounts of memory when editing them.

For reference, when I opened a 36450x17700 image, Paint.net was using around 5GB of memory. That is an insane image size though.
