Plainman007,
You can edit on your laptop with restrictions but you will need to boost the RAM to 1Mb and your external drive needs to run at 7200rpm on USB2. I use this same setup in the field twice a week to do two 8 minute TV spots without any hassle.
If you have complicated edits buy the Desktop you suggested.Ask your studio to give you PAL MS AVI Type 2 files on your drive and they will load directly into Premiere Pro. There are no presets with MS AVI Type 2 files.
Be happy and be creative.

No – it’s a codec built around HDV and unless used with that format would not have any effect on SD production.

Is this on new or existing projects?
With existing projects you will need to remove any instances of the effect from the clips on the timeline.Redgum Television Productions

“Rendering is a fact of life with NLEs unless you have a realtime card installed. (eg Matrox RTX100)”
Only on non-native footage and effects. Clubjunkie seems to be using mpeg files or mov files and that may be where the problem lays.Redgum Television Productions

What speed is your “slow” drive? Generally, internal drives will always be faster than external drives (there are exceptions).
What speed is your firewire connection? If it’s 800 then you wouldn’t have any problem leaving all your files on the Lacie. The other alternative is to direct them back to your Raid so that you end up with Prem Pro and conformed/temporary files on your Raid and video files on your Lacie.Redgum Television Productions

Stylz,
Each solution to the “Scratch Disk” depends on the individual setup. On my laptop I have an external USB drive with resources and captured video, and my conformed files are on my system drive. USB and Firewire do not generally have enough throughput to handle video and conformed files from the one source. This could be different with Eyal who uses a Lacie 800 firewire drive. If he has 800 firewire port on his computer then he could probably store all his files on the Lacie. It’s all about the ability for your system to handle throughput.Eyal,
I see you have a Raid (presume 0 Raid) and the Lacie drive setup. I presume you don’t have any other drives in the PC.
To maximise your performance I would abandon the Raid, seperate the drives and use them individually.
System on #1, Conformed and temporary files on #2 and video resources on the Lacie (#3). I’m a strong proponent of Raids but to be useful (performance wise) you need that third drive in the system to achieve the best outcome. Alternately, you could simply install an additional drive.
Unless you have a mirrored Raid I would also be careful of using this as the system drive.Redgum Television Productions

Stylz,
Why? Many people only have two drives and you wouldn’t want to store temporary/conformed files on your system drive. What has happened to you in the past to come to this conclusion?Redgum Television Productions

Premiere Pro and FCP are only tools. It’s the person behind the keyboard that makes the difference.

Aanarav, are you sure this works with a laptop? Isn’t the VGA out a loop through, either or, or clone? Not necessarily a dual output?
