[iBook] Video editing on an 2 year old iBook?

[ibooklist2 at matthurst.fastmail.fm]

I have a two year old iBook – 30gig HD, running 10.3.9 – and I want to
do some video editing on it. Nothing flash, just cutting together a two
minute short. 

Obviously I’ll need to buy as big an external hard drive as I can
afford, but apart from that, is my beloved iBook up to it? And if so,
does anyone have any tips about how to go about it?

If not, what are my options?
