Cards like Matrox that does real time are great asset if the computer is slow, for me I have 7 editing computers, 3 of them are Pentium 4, 3ghz hyperthreading with 1gig of ram and 3 hard drives, the other 2 machines uses 2gig of RAM, what differences I noticed is with 2gig (not 1.5gig) you will definetely see an increase of performance (also making sure the hard drive speed is up to par, etc).
With $300, first see what type of hard drives are you using? Are you using a C: drive only for programs and videos? If yes, get another hard drive. If you are using 2 hard drives, is the scratch disk hard drive fast enough? If not, replace that, then also bump your memory if you can to 2gig (using the best) it will make a difference. Rendering will always take time, since your budget is limited best is to minimize that rendering time and work around it. Or, if you have enough $, go get the Matrox real time video card or get a faster computer :) Johnny www.mdifilm.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AP] Faster Rendering Hello everyone, I have PPro 1.5 and am using Win XP with 1 GB RAM and 2.8 processor. As a home user, I would like to find a way to speed up rendering in Premiere. Given a limited budget, am I better off with more RAM or a video editing card? I guess it's a speed vs money thing, but if I could find an "acceptable" video editing card for under $300 I suspect that would be the way to go. Any opinions on RAM vs card would be appreciated, as would suggestions for a video editing card. TIA, RR Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
