Hi all,
My 6-year-old hackintosh is getting very glitchy and unstable -- and the sound hasn't worked in some time.
I figured I'd upgrade. I don't need something top-of-the-line - I do regular video editing, however.
Is there anything in my current system that I should keep? What are the biggest-bang-for-the-buck upgrades?
Thanks!
