Best Comp for Premiere
Hello,
I am a film student running Adobe CS4 Production Premium on my current computer and am looking to buy a computer with better processing power to run my editing on for a while. Ive found a few good priced desktops that im interested in, with sufficient memory and RAM, but im not sure which is better. Some computers run and AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core Processor and some run an Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor. I just don’t know which would be better for running and editing video along with the rendering power for After Effects. Any opinions? -

Check out my signature for what I use for my CS4 Master Suite jobs.

But out of the two that were listed before, which would be your choice? im limited in money for this computer.

The two processors you listed are pretty much the same thing. I think I usually gravitate towards AMD products, but if you can afford a quad core, I’d recommend that.
I think it’d be important to get a 64 bit OS so you can jack up the RAM in your system.
Saying that, if you’re working on a budget the computer I started working with AE/Pr/En/Ps with was an
AMD Athlon x2 DualCore 5600+
2.81 GHz
4 (3.25 is all the computer can see) GB of RAM
NVidia GeForce 8400 GS video card
Windows XP Pro 32 bitIt seems to do most things I want. It struggles a bit with Dynamic Linking if there’s more than one or two, but the OpenGL properties of the fairly inexpensive video card work really well with Ps and AE.
Hope this helps… I’m def. not a pro when it comes to this, but if you post the specs of the 2 pc’s we can find which is better.

My advise for what it’s worth … if U want something that doesn’t hang up and freeze when running Premiere get a Big Macintosh … I hate to say it but it’l save U a lot of frustation in the end … and if U can swing it upgrade to Final Cut, blows any thing in the price range away hands down … sure wish I’d have gone that rought.
