I have used Premiere 6 intermittently for a few years, but recently decided to fire it up again. Since I'd forgotten what little I once knew I went browsing through the tutorials. Foolishly I peeked in the Pro section, big mistake, left me sorely disatisfied. So, in a fit of jealousy, I bought an OEM copy of Pro1.5 on e-Bay. It's legit enough I've checked with Adobe, but now having been doing more reading I'm wondering what else I'm going to need.
I have a 5 year old system, Asus A7V-133, 1.4GHz Athalon, 1Gb RAM and plenty of hard drive space, 230Gb free at the moment. The display adapter is Matrox Milleniun G450, and I also have an ADS Pyro capture card. The m/b, CPU and RAM I'll be updating, but what about the 450G and Pyro board, do they have to be replaced too?
I've read about the Matrox RT X10, is this a "must have" or "nice to have" item? One other thing...I saw somewhere that the CPU had to conform to some extra instruction set, ECC(?) Something like that, sorry to be a bit vague, can't find the reference now. Would the newer Athalon 64 X2 chips do?
