I am a film maker and am planning to go for the Panasonic GH4 camera.

On my current setup, i tried to run some original footages from the GH4 camera and its not very smooth on the Adobe Premier Pro editing software Playback while editing (Tried setting it at FULL, 1/4, 1/8 but its laggy).

Do i need an additional 755M Graphics card (or any other cheaper, better third party alternative for it)? Or just a further upgrade of 8GB internal Memory ram would be good enough with the preexisting 2gb 755M in my Laptop for the purpose mentioned? If yes, whats the best Memory upgrade for my laptop (Third party model name of the RAM, cost etc.).

My mac laptop has finally given up and it is time to upgrade. Since i'm doing a lot of music, photography and now video since acquiring a GH2 in january (which is giving me great joy), i'm considering splashing out on a dell XPS 8300 Desktop going all out Max memory, max graphics and a raid hard drive....

Has anyone got any suggestions apart from this beast would be greatly appreciated. Please no mac chat! i have been burnt. I must say their customer service was great but the machine itself was not up to the job and kept breaking down at the most critical of times making me look like an ass loosing me good gigs.

I currently have a decent enough samsung screen but i will be upgrading to a 32inch LED screen in a few months for video work and pleasure.

Thanks
