I am running Premiere Pro CS4 on my PC
Main board: MercuryPI945GZD
Processor : Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2160 @ 1.80GHz
Ram : 2GB DDR2
VGA : Nvidia GeForce 9500GT (1GB)
Hard Disk : 500GB (ST3500418AS)
Windows : Windows 7 (32bit)
The Problem is that SD DV footage works fine but when i import Ex1 footage into PPro4 it doesn’t give me smooth playback.It plays fine for few seconds and then starts jumping etc.What i want to know is “Does my system meet requirements for editing Ex1?” if it does
then what step i am missing to get better performance or do i really need to buy a new machine ?
I’ve also tried editing Canon 5D footage there is no difference (slowwwww plaback). -

You could use some more processor horsepower, CS4 can use 4gigs of memory in a Win7 64bit system so 6gigs of memory would help, a 32bit system 3gigs would help some, it appears you only have one harddrive, you need two at a minimum, one for the apps and OS, a second drive for video files, you maybe able to get a smoother playback with some changes with low bitrate HDV cuts only editing, if you want to get into serious compositing and effects a newer machine would help particularly with Canon 5D footage.
