For general DV editing you probably wouldn’t notice any difference, its only if you use complicated 3D effects in RT that you may notice a difference.

The ammount of card memory doesn’t really affect video processing per’se, The memory comes into play when playing back intense 3D effects and changes like with gaming for instance, Ppro does contain some effects that use a graphics card GPU, you can find them in the Effects Palette in the GPU folder, a Nvidia 6600 or equivalent ATI card is more than sufficient.

Conformed audio files are large, if 1.4gig is too large, you may need to upgrade your system drives a bit.

[Andrew Garner] “what editors are available”
MainConcept’s Main Actor NLE is available in various flavors of linux you can find it on the products page:
https://www.mainconcept.com/products.shtml it has a demo for download -
To add to what R Hewitt said, Premiere is not a native Mpg editor, and can cause artifacts in your footage, particularly when you recompress it, you might be better to edit in a program that can handle Mpg natively, Ulead’s MediaStudioPro is one such program, Tmpgenc is another program that you can cut, merge, etc.

[Peter Corbett] “Not sure if an older dual Xeon 2.8 533fsb might be faster on the rendering and encoding than my single Prescott 3.2 DDR400/800fsb”
Processor speed has more effect, the dual Xeon 2.8HT could average out like a single 4.3g-4.8g depending on how much the App coding uses dual processors, the memory bus speed makes a difference but not as much as people think, I’ve done upgrades for people where I’ve used their old PC2100 temp memory, and didn’t notice very much difference in performance in many tasks as alot of rendering is CPU intensive, vice memory intensive, another thing that helps is disk transfer speeds particularly with RealTime editing.

Its not worth the money for the performance kick you would get, you didn’t mention what CPU socket you have, for the grand you would spend for the extreme, you could get a 3.8ghz($600) prescott if you had a 775 socket, or a motherboard and processor for a grand.

I haven’t run across one yet, I have a email to JL Cooper to find out if they are going to support Ppro with anything other than their shuttle controller MCS3, and/or Audition.

[STYLZ] “formatted as ntsc-c: drive =10 gigs or so. “
Probably mean NTFS, where are your conformed audio files located, if on the C: that maybe your problem, conforming audio will eat up 10gigs fast, look in My Documents under Adobe, alot of people use a third drive for Conformed Audio, Scratch Disks, Previews, Misc files, etc.

Like Stephen says you could be changing pixel aspect ratio, there are two things you can do, if Photoshop 7 or higher there are video presets, open New under file then there will be a list of presets, select a video one that suits the size of your project, Like NTSC DV/DVD, that will stay till you change it, just close the window and use File->Open and as select your TIFs the will open with the preset eg: 720×534, or if a earlier version just enter the 720×534 as a preset, another thing you can export a clip of frames as a FilmStrip(flm), then import that into PhotoShop, it will appear as a large image, the(length)depth is the ammount of frames you exported as a FilmStrip, If you exceed the max pixel depth of PhotoShop, Photoshop will open a second column of frames along side the first, refer to the online help in Premiere and Photoshop for further info.
