    Here is what a guy who will build my new system suggests…

    5 661 vpro Processor
    Asus MotherBoard
    4gb DDR3 Memory
    500Gb Sata Hard drive
    Mid Blk Case
    500Watt
    Dvd Burner Sata
    Windows 7 home Premium 64bit

    Can you run both CS4 PP and CS4 After Effects with this amount of memory. I will add a second drive as the scratch drive…any suggestions…thanks.

    If you are going to multi-task you want 6gigs bare minimum, 8gigs or more is better, Ppro CS4 can use up to 4gigs by itself.

    I would go for 12.
    And you need at least two seperate internal harddrives.
    On for OS and one or better two for the rest.

    A 1,000 GB would be better, our old computer worked on 400Gb but, you will need to get rid of temp files %temp% in Windows explorer window, that is to get rid of temp files easily, at one stage we had 1,443 rendered mov files there, not a good look, and then operating on a mere 15Gb, you cannot defragment which is esential with HD H264 mov files.
