Um...sounds like you copies the specs for some old video game. XP and Vista systems are almost non-existant in the new PC market...but windows 7 runs almost everything that you could want to run anyway. That said, you could probably get a PC with those specs used for cheap; you might even find something like that in a dumpster if you are both persistant and lucky.

This isn't for a game. Those are the system requirements for the video editing programs Edius and Avid Media Composer (Autumn 2009 versions).
Given that this is new software, Windows 7 won't be an issue.
BevanPure: Are you editing Standard def stuff, or High def? Are you concerned with performance? How much are you willing to spend? The more you spend, the faster this program will run, the quicker your video encodes will be.

High and standard the computer will be used in a local tv station. Cheaper the beater and performance is necessary. There is a budget but dont want something too expensive.

Need to be more specific than 'high' please. High for some is $700, High for others is $5000.

"High and standard the computer will be used in a local tv station"
I think he meant both high-def and standard-def.
An i5 should serve you very well, an i7 would do even better, but might be out of your price range. 4GB of ram should be your minimum, and using 2 hard drives instead of 1 can give you big speed increases at a relativly low price increase.
That program requires a PS3 video card with 512MB of ram...most quality video cards have these qualifications, so it should not be hard to get something good for cheap. However, onboard video is probably a bad idea.

Depends if the program allows GPU-acceleration. If it does, a reasonably good GPU is a good idea. If it doesn't, all you need is something basic like an HD5450.
