questions

i'll ask question it'll easier people answer appropriately. project? on external drive? if how's connected? if it's on internal, how space have left on it? did plenty of home movies on old g4 800 mhz imac processor isn't problem. if find out speed problem, macbook little on 1,000, , not shell out 3,000 full tower (mac pro).
