Adobe Premier Pro

am thinking of buying a copy of Adobe Premier Pro CS3

The minimum system requirement is :

Intel Pentium 4 (2GHz processor for DV; 3.4GHz processor for HDV), Intel Centrino, Intel Xeon (dual 2.8GHz processors for HD), or Intel Core Duo (or compatible) processor; SSE2-enabled processor required for AMD systems

1GB of RAM for DV; 2GB of RAM for HDV and HD


My system is:

Dell Inspiron 9300
Intel Pentium M Processor 1.73GHZ 794MHZ
1 GB of RAM

Does anyone know if this will be enough to run Premier Pro?

 

No it isnt, Premier Pro will eat up your computer for dinner & breakfast these are the FULL requirements to run this Application:

System requirements
Windows
2GHz or faster processor for DV; 3.4GHz for HDV; dual 2.8GHz for HD*
Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 (Service Pack 3 recommended) or Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (certified for 32-bit Windows XP and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista)
2GB of RAM
10GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on flash-based storage devices)
1,280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0–compatible graphics card
Dedicated 7200 RPM hard drive for DV and HDV editing; striped disk array storage (RAID 0) for HD; SCSI disk subsystem preferred
For SD/HD workflows, an Adobe-certified card for capture and export to tape
OHCI-compatible IEEE 1394 port for DV and HDV capture, export to tape, and transmit to DV device
DVD-ROM drive (DVD+-R burner required for DVD creation)
Blu-ray burner required for Blu-ray disc creation
Microsoft Windows Driver Model– or ASIO-compatible sound card
QuickTime 7.4.5 software required to use QuickTime features
Broadband Internet connection required for online services†


Seeing as your system falls well short of the minimum requirements, I'd be surprised that it would even Launch, let alone run smooth.

If you read my signature, you will see my PC Specifications,and Premier Pro even has some glitches with Me Plus do you really have 10GB of space for installation? If not, Forget the Idea of entertaining it

 

I second DVD+Rs response. Premier Pro is meant to be used in a professional environment with powerful computers. Your system won't be able to handle Premier Pro very well.

 

But isn't a Pentium M processor much faster than a Pentium 4?

 

It is, however, you won't enjoy using the software by only meeting the minimum system requirements.

 

Foxfired,

Max-out your RAM to 2GB (2048MB) of DDR2 PC2-5300 and you should be ok. Your laptop only has 2 memory slots, so if they are now both occupied - each with a 512MB module (that's the way Dell would typically configure it), you will have to replace both of them. Even so, doing that costs less than $30 from crucial.com. Go for it...

 

Thanks Aaron, maybe I will try that.
