Forgive my ignorance, but I have some questions regarding 2 recently acquired PCI macs. The first is a PowerMac 9500/200. The second is a 6500/225. Both have 136mb ram in the 6500, and about 200mb in the 9500, both run OS 9.1 I have need of doing some very basic video editing, and I hope to be able to use these to accomplish these simple tasks.
I admit that I am quite ignorant on these things, so forgive me if my questions are misguided. But I do want to learn, so any input would be appreciated.
Neither system is worth spending money on, certainly not for your purposes.
You'll have far better results, even for 'very simple video editing' by going for a native G3 or G4 system, running OS X.
Prices on B&W and early G4 systems are plummeting with the advent of the Mini.
Heck, a G4 upgrade for the 9500 will set you back over half the cost of a Mini, let alone adding in the memory and drive space you're going to need.
