In my opinion,
the 380 would be adequate for you than the xps 600.
the first thing about the 600 would be the noise coming from the 5 fans on board. and the extra heat it gives off. if you have the environment for this, great! the xps600 is really the same box as the prcision 670.
I'm not thrilled with the video card selection in precision either. they are geared towards business needs.
get the cheapest card that comes in the package and then go buy an addon card to your specs. that's what i did.
i'm not sure i see your complaint about the memory in the 380. its beautiful high speed memory.
you should look at also the optiplex gx620, get it as a 3.4 processor, could also handle anything you throw at it. and a better price point than the precision. that is what i would pick in your case.

I am sort of considering buying a powerful box to use for video editing. My son is doing quite a bit of it, and I am starting to learn too.
I was considering a precision 380, and noticed they carry a whole different class of video card.
They do not have a lot of memory, the memory is not particularly fast, and they cost a whole lot.
What is one paying for with these cards? They seem to be PCI-Express, as in the Dim XPS-600.
Would these have more powerful rendering engines that Premiere Pro could use?
For video editing with Adobe products, would there be a clear advantage to either the XPS-600 or the Pre-380?
Thanks,
