Hardware and Vid editing

[Tidy]

I have a few clips from a race we threw together last week and premiere is being a bitch and crashing, running out of memory, failing to export and general being a pita.

Aside from software I think I need to upgrade, or at least a new bigger hd and a fresh OS install. Anyone have any input on PC's hardware and editing? When I gamed, it seemed fairly easy to get a feel for what kinda system to look at cuz of our networking but there is a ton available now.
