I agree, A newer video card my be a nice upgrade as well.
I found a huge speed upgrade simply switching to windows 7 with only 4gigs of ram, and with the 64bit upgrade you would be getting as well you may be very surprised as well.

If you want to save the most money start small: I would highly recommend upgrading to the OS alone to Win7 64bit, make sure his current ram set is half decent, and make sure he is using editing software that isnt a cheap knock off.
