CS5 w/Mercury Playback on ‘older’ system
I’ve got a Intel 9450 cpu with a motherboard that takes ddr1066 RAM. (8Gigs). Using a NVidia 280 card and hoping to get realtime playback with 2 HDV tracks. Anybody getting realtime playback with a slightly older system like this? (BTW, I do know what the official required specs are, just could use some real world experience here)

When you say Nvidia 280 are you refering to a NVS280 or a GTX280?
I’ve got more than 2 HDV layers out of a q9450 with 8gigs ram, with Ppro CS4 win7 64bit -
Brian, thanks for the response. A GTX280 to answer your question. My motherboard maxes out at 8 gigs of ram, at only 1066 mhz. So I’m hoping that won’t be a bottleneck. But so far it seems realtime playback will work.
I’ve been editing musicals from a performing arts school with quick turnover and two tapes, a wide cover shot and a close-up shot(s) per show. Ten shows this summer. Plus, I capture in HDV and edit in an SD project/timeline, useing ‘pan&scan’ techniques, i.e. scaling and moving the frame. For musicals, realtime is a must and I’ve been using Newtek’s Speed Edit to do the job, but it would be nice to get back to PPro, which is for most of my work, my main editing app.

Dave, thanks for the confidence booster. Your link didn’t go through on your post, but I have been seen it elsewhere, so I’m doing fine.
