[Tom Sven] “Do you know of any utilities available for watching the amount disc usage while doing task?”
No, I am not aware that such utility exists.
If you are interested in a utility that measures the Write and Read throughput of hard disks, give your e-mail address in a reply and I will e-mail it to you.

[Tom Sven] ” I feel like I should be seeing better performance gains out of this new system.”
It may very well be that your performance in limited by the hard disk Read/Write operations required by Premiere Pro.
In order to insure best performance from your drives you should:
1) Combine the operation of two SATA similar drives in a RAID 0 configuration and use the tanden as the A/V drive. This usually more than doubles the Read/Write speed.
2) Make sure that your system, A/V and export drive (if any) are not more than 80% full.
3) Often defrag these drives. Perfectdisk 7.0 is recommended for its defrag speed and it’s analysis tool that clearly identifies the type of defrag needed when applicable.https://www.raxco.com/products/perfectdisk2k/

If it may help, you may, in Premiere Pro see the transitions in the same configuration as you could see them in Premiere 6.X.
In PPro, drag a transition between two clips, select it on the Timeline and go to Windows -> Effect Controls in the PPro menu. If you drag the Effect Control screen that pops up wide enough, you will have a visualization of your transition like you could see it in Premiere 6.X. You may even adjust it as you could do it in Premiere 6.5 or 6.0.
BTW PPro adds footage when you don’t set any overlap in the transition. It repeats the last frame of the first clip 15 times (

[the wicke] “what i dont understand is why when i butt two clips together, i still have to have a cushion on each side of the transition”
You need this “cushion” for the same reasons as in Premiere 6.X you had to superimpose the extremities of the clips above and below the transition.

Adobe Premiere Pro was first published under the name Premiere Pro 7.0 and the name was later changed to Premiere Pro 1.0. Some might have what you have under the latter name and not know that they might be able to help you.
In my case, I am sorry but I no longer have the PPro 1.0 manual.
Good luck !

[Ron Moody] “HOWZ THAT FOR CLARITY?”
The clarity is 100%.
I am afraid you have no other choice than reinstall. All I can add is that I had to reinstall (for different reasons). I also have Production Studio Premium and all I had to do is the automatic re-activation on the Web without any problem.

What is the Hard disk setup on your laptop?
I suspect that you have only one HD whereas at a minimum a second one, dedicated to your A/V data, is required.

[ChrisCVP] “Some of the clips that I have tried are from the lesson disk from a book I bought (Premiere Pro 2.0 Revealed).”
I googled the book title and found this:

That’s the way to do it!
