Mac Camtasia Users: Help Appreciated

I want to get Camtasia for Mac, but my present configuration won't run it.

Current set-up:

Macbook Intel Core Duo 1.83MHz, Tiger 10.4.8, Memory 512Meg, 60 Gig Drive

Tentative Plan:
Add 2x1Meg RAM (I have)
Get upgrade box to Mac Snow Leopard
Install 320 Gig Drive

That should do it, I think. Approx cost: $300

Does that sound like a workable set-up?
Anything else I am going to need to make it fly?

Do I need some kind of enhanced video card or anything?

Thanks much in advance for suggestions! --Mike

Why Camtasia?

If you haven't bought it yet -- I suggest screenflow instead...

Screenflow is where it's at!

  Yes, screenflow rocks - but you are going to want more RAM.
  
  I had 1 gig of ram when I started with it on my macbook - and it held out fine for a bit but I found myself having to kick up to the max for this laptop which is 2 gig.
  
  If you have not checked it out, I will highly recommend Other World Computing (aka OWC) - great prices, fast delivery, and options.

Thanks Jill,
Yeah, what I meant to say above was that I got two 1Meg RAM cards so I hope that will be ok. Thanks! --Mike

Sorry I had to join in the conversation. I love love screenflow - awesome effects for mac people. If you're on a budget though, Screencast-O-Matic - Free online screen recorder for instant screen capture video sharing. is an online basic screen capturing software and allows you to create screen capture videos up to 15minutes which is definitely more than Jing!

Cheers
Aimee
