Hardward upgrade for video editing

[4153sh]

I have a system consisting of: 2.4 mhz Pentium 4, xp, 2x80GB SATA HD, Ati Radeon 9200 VIVO card with 128 MB,512 MB PC3200 Ram, sound card from the motherboard. Software used is Ulead VideoStudio 6SE. Its main purpose was for converting VHS tapes to VCD when it was bought 6 months ago. I have now mostly finished converting some 50 one hour tapes with varying degree of quality. I plan to upgrade my sytem to achieve better video quality for DVD recording mostly from digital camcorder. Should I upgrade the capture card, ram, software or the video card. One suggestion is to upgrade the video card to AIW 9800Pro, which I don't know if I agree, because I do't use the computer for games nor I plan to watch TV with it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Well if you are going to be doing the capture through a digital video camera you should be just use firewire, and i dont think the capture card is really necessary. I would say go with the ram, get another stick of 512mb. And as for the video card, i agree that a 9800 would be overkill.
