Adobe 2.0 audio should I upgrade??? or pass…..

You have all missed one of the best new features in 2.0.
You can now do a fill left/right in the track mixer.
Just setup track 1 to fill left and track 2 to fill right.
Then place the clip audio in the track that you want to use (or both).

It really works well

No question that it’s a nice feature, but you’re still monkeying with stereo audio and trying to make it work like mono. As a workflow, I find it’s easier to simply make it all mono and be done with it…the track mixer method still requires a copy/paste of each and every audio clip if you want both tracks, but intend to mix them separately.

You should be good to go with that system. You may want to bump your RAM to 2 GB. You’ll need a firewire card if your computer doesn’t have it built in (<$40). Also, you may want to add another hard drive, it's nice to have a dedicated drive for audio, you're performance will improve a lot. (Because then the single media drive isn't skipping around trying to play multiple tracks of audio and video at the same time). It's not a must, though.

I didn’t follow all this closely, but you can reimport a file and set Source Channel Mapping on that instance for additional uses.
