What are your PC specs for PP CS3
The time has finally come to upgrade to HDV.
I wanted to know what specs your computers have and how are they working out with Premier Pro CS3? I am leaning towards using the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 but want some opinions on motherboard, case and any other tips. My budget is under 1500 Thank you. |

If you go mac don't forget you can do a cross grade. Or if you still need to do an upgrade just by the mac upgrade.

Andre... I have an hp m8200n which works pretty well with hd. Here's the specs from the hp site.
- Athlon 64 X2 (W) 6000+ 3.0 GHz (89W) - Motherboard: MCP61PM-HM - Memory Installed 3 GB - Maximum allowed 8 GB (4 x 2 GB) (64-bit OS) - Speed supported PC2-5300 MB/sec - Type 240 pin, DDR2 SDRAM - Expansion slots - PCI Two (One available) - PCI Express x16 One (One available) - PCI Express x1 One (None available) - Drive bays - 5.25" Two (One available) - 3.5" Three (Two available) I think I paid about $800 for the box, then added a .5TB internal secondary drive and a dual head video card. Something like this should fit your budget. I think this model has been superseded by a newer one. I also bought two 19' HP widescreen LCD monitors for about $250 each. |
