Hi guys
I'm a video editor in London and am finding that my current system struggles with HD projects. It's a Dell running Premiere CS4, specs are:
Intel Core2 Quad 2.33GHz (Q8200)
Dell 0M017G motherboard
3GB memory (DDR2, PC2-6400)
Vista Home Premium 32-bit
ATI Radeon HD 3650 256MB graphics card
1x WD Caviar 500 GB hard drive (SATA, 16MB Cache, 7200 RPM - Model: WD5000AAKS)
Can anyone recommend some targeted upgrades that'll improve performance? I'm thinking 2 or 3 things that'll make a big difference with stuttery playback and general sluggishness.
Many Thanks
Kevin
