To Pro AMV Maker: What are your system specs?

I have a crappy ass computer and adobe premire basicly takes up most of the ram (total is 128 LOL)

I want to know what are your system specs.

This is the wrong forum, this forum is for sharing or giving opinions on AMVs. I think this might be General? Not too sure though, a mod will move it anyway. Also your sig is too big, there's a 40px high limit on sig images.

To answer your question, I also have a crappy ass computer and my ram is 320.

I'm running XP2400+, 1GB RAM. With 1GB it can be slow when I'm using a lot of clips, how do you cope with 128MB?

I think I'm a pro.

Duron 750, 384mb sdram, 7.2krpm hd. Not much problem editing 720x480 huffyuv & DV clips, so I'm happy.

There are ways to make your system run much faster. Just use all of the tools in your bag. Things like bait and switch, and turn off the little images in your timeline bar. Render to ram. Clean your HD.

I run a 3.2ghz with a gig of ram, and still have issues sometimes. There is no computer fast enough that it won't slow down if you throw enough stuff at it.

BTW, why did you post this in the opinion exchange?

If you build your own computer, you can get rather state of the art for less than a thousand. Hell, mine was only about $600 and is pretty damned elite. All it REALLY needs is a better graphics card (even though the one it has now works for EVERYTHING I use without slowdown)

I highly recomend bait and switch for low end systems.

I rip DVD's using a desktop but all the editing I do on a laptop that is 1.5 ghz 256 Mb of RAM and a 20 gig HDD. With bait and switch the editing is in realtime execpt for during transitions and effects, which makes it a lot easier to fine tune things without having to wait for previews to render.
