vaio laptop for video editing image
Inquirer
My Vaio laptop is a few years old. It has an i3 dual-core processor and an Intel integrated GPU. Here are some relevant specs:
RAM: 4.00 GB (3.67 GB usable)
Total video memory: 1751 MB
Dedicated video memory: 128 MB
I want to be able to play higher end games at decent quality, but as of now, all my high-end emulators only run at about 25 fps; I'd like them to run at about 50-60 fps. Seeing as how I can't apparently overclock the RAM on the integrated GPU, could overclocking the RAM on the CPU make a significant difference? If so, by how much should I overclock it?
Answer
You probably could in some cases. What I do, is use a CPU utility to overclock/underclock my CPU, depending on how I'm using it at the time.
High-performance - Hair Trigger Overclock with slow drop for Gaming,
Normal performance - Up to my normal 15x multiplier for standard use.
Power Saving with extreme underclock (down to 4x @ <1V) for when I'm leaving it unattended.
This alleviates all the unnecessary heat buildup associated with a static setup (from BIOS) and saves power. This will also allow you to play around with multipliers & voltages, to find what the limits are and what works best.
I used RMClock Utility 2.35 until I upgraded to a Phenom x4 940, to find it wasn't supported by the software.
I now use PhenomMsrTweaker, which will likely not work with your Intel.
*edit* He's right about the 32-bit & Graphics card. But as many programs aren't coded to use 64-bit, you could still be ok on that count. If you're not ready for a new OS, I would certainly look into getting a separate graphics card... perhaps a used mid/high level for that machine, to take some responsibilities of that CPU. That's the main way you're gonna get more frame-rate.

How can I transfer videos from my video camera?
Crissis
I have a "Sony Handycam CCD-TR517" and of course, it's analog...
I have old videos in 8 millimeter cassettes and well. i want to transfer them to my laptop and then burn them to a CD, i have a Sony Vaio laptop... so i have no idea how the analog video cameras connect to the compu. Do i need a software or just a wire...? what the hell do i need, hahahahaha. PLEASE HELP ME AND EXPLAIN IT STEP BY STEP... THANX!
Answer
The Sony CCD-TR517 is a Video8 analog camcorder. You know this.
You will need the AV cable that came with the camcorder...
If your computer has a Firewire/i.LINK/DV/IEEE1304 port, then you will want to get an "analog/digital converter" like the Canopus ADVC55 or ADVC110.
If your computer has no firewire port and no way to add one, then you are stuck with the USB based A/D converters from Pinnacle (Dazzle) or Roxio - among many others.
Plug the Camcorder's AV cable into the camcorder and the A/D converter.
Plug the A/D converter into the computer.
Put the camcorder in Play mode.
Launch the video editing application or import utility.
Press play on the camcorder.
Import the video.
