No way, the memory of 512 is fine, and adding scsi is not gonna speed this up. this is a pipe width problem when you start talking about how long it takes to render (dual CPUs kick ass on this task) but the capture part, is all how fast a sustained write can be made. as Far as the software, Cinelerra seems very capable, and linux video studio seems a good tool to try too.
