    Newbie to the Adobe Cloud – machine spec recommendations

    Posted by Tad Newberry on January 3, 2014 at 1:11 am

    i’ve recently migrated to the dark side from FCP, edited a pilot show on Premiere, and it looks like i’ve made a great switch, but now seriously time to upgrade my machine short of buying a new one. here’s what i have:

    Mac Pro early 2009
    2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    6 GB RAM (i believe it’s upgradable to 16)
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB

    i have virtually ZERO free RAM in my activity monitor, so i know that needs to be cranked up, but in addition to that, which graphics card would you recommend?

    Thanks!
