A few GB of memory/RAM is GREAT!  A few GB of disk space...not so good. 
  How much are we talking?  Video takes up a lot of space, so your idea 
of the external hard drive is right on.  With 15 minutes of video your 
projects needs about 3.5 GB of disk space.  30 minutes = 7GB; 60 
minutes = 13 GB, 2 hours = 28 GB.  Make sure your project is set in PAL 
format in your iMovie preferences also.  Do you have external speakesr? 
If so, are they plugged in all the way and chosen in your system 
preferences?  Is the output volume set high enough?
I am just brainstorming here...maybe I'll hit on something for you.
