Is this desktop PC good for running PrE 11?

I'm looking at purchasing a Dell Inspiron 660s for running Premiere Elements 11. Here are the system specs:
Intel Quad-Core i5-3330S running @2.7 GHz, with a 3.2GHz max-turbo frequency
Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit (PrE 11 will be running 64-bit as well)
8GB of RAM
1TB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive
I will be doing consumer-level editing with only AVCHD video. I do not need the power to run After Effects or anything like that, just Premiere Elements 11, 64-bit. I would like the program to be very fluent, smooth, and fast, but I do not need overkill, as I am only doing consumer-level laid-back AVCHD editing, keying, rendering, soundtrack mixing, etc.
Please let me know if these specs will allow me to smoothly run Adobe Premiere Elements 11 to fit my needs (nothing more, nothing less).
If something here is too much or needs to be upgraded, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

This looks like an excellent machine for editing AVCHD on, Mr. Filmeffects.
In fact, you could probably run After Effects on it too if you want to.
A second hard drive for your media and project files can always give you an added boost. But, with today's systems, it's not always necessary.

  • Desktop/Laptop suggestions for running Premiere CS 5.5

    Hello, I was hoping for some help.
    I am looking to buy a computer to run CS 5.5. I will mostly be editing standard definition DV from my Canon GL-2, but I may upgrade my camera in the next year or so and I want to make sure my setup will be able to handle HD.
    I have read many of the other threads on here and they have been quite helpful, but I was hoping for a bit more help if anyone can manage. I would prefer not to have to build my own setup and I was wondering if anyone could provide links to desktop or laptop computers that would be good for running Premiere CS 5.5. Has anyone found any computers that are good to go as far as running Premiere? Something with all the right stuff (i7, 16 GB RAM, GTX570) all included?
    As far as budget I would like to keep it under $2000, but I could go a bit higher if need be. I have been looking around myself (this isn't just me being totally lazy) but because I'm not so tech savvy I don't want to get the wrong setup. Would something like this be OK? If so, is this a good price or can I do better?

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • Is this Enermax psu good for K8N Neo4 Diamond?

    Enermax Noisetaker 600W(AX Series)
    http://www.enermax.com.tw/products_page.php?Tid=1&gon=261&Gid=18&Gid2=45
    i've taken into account that the latest revision of the Diamond mobo would not need -5v rail so i'm considering getting this psu.
    is this psu really built for SLI? it's two 12V rails are using 18A each.
    i read FastEddie - PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth and it is giving me doubts about any psus with the logo SLI Ready and etc.

  • Is this MAC Mini good for gaming?

    I love to play games, and my love is the sims 3! I' am wondering if this mac mini with these specs can run smoothly TS3 + expansions:
    2.5GHz Mac mini
    2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    8GB memory
    500GB hard drive1
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    OS X Mountain Lion
    Plus I have an external hard drive with 1TB where I plan to install my games!

    Here are The Sims 3 system requirements:
    FOR MAC OS X
    Mac OS X 10.5.7 Leopard or higher
    Intel Core Duo Processor
    2 GB RAM
    ATI X1600 or Nvidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100.
    At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games
    This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems, or the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.
    So a new low-end Mac Mini will be more than fine. I'm playing Starcraft 2 and Empire: Total War (Gold Edition) on my late-2012 Mini with a 2.6GHz processor and 16gb of RAM runs them fine.
    Spring for the extra RAM because it's really cheap right now.

  • IBook G3/500 256MB..... Good for running eclipse/netbeans?

    Hi,
    Im currently at university and about to do my FYP....
    My main development rig is my Core 2 Duo iMac.
    But im over at my girlfriend's a bit of the time and wanted a laptop that allowed me to do a bit of programming for my Final Year Project while I was there so I purchased an iBook.
    I got it off eBay for £150 with airport and 2 batteries.
    I just wanted to know if it is good enough to runs either eclipse or net-beans... Has anyone had any experience?
    All I will be doing is writing and compiling code that has a basic gui on the laptop nothing else.
    Im gonna plan to install tiger with the latest updates and upgrade the ram to the max....
    Its got a 20GB hard drive aswell...

    Hi,
    i'll have a go with eclipse's.
    I can remeber a program called DoctorJava though that I used in my 1st year. It is very lightweight and will defo work on the iBook... so if eclipse is to slow ill go down that road...
    Thanks

  • Is this cooling pad good for GT70?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834992913&RandomID=69937681231588220120815000546
    I saw a sale post on bestbuy for this model.
    However, I am not really sure about the fan/air-flow structure of GT70.
    It seems like there is a large 200mm fan in the middle for that cooling pad, but I am sure that most of GT70's heat comes out from the rear and side.
    Will this model sufficient enough to lower my GT70's temp?

    Looks good to me... If you want to improve cooling, even with the cooling pad, you can remove the back plate. It provides direct airflow.

  • Is this MacPro config good for Color ???

    I'm about to buy a new single quad core MacPro with ATI 5870 but came across this used machine ( MacPro 2 x 2.8 Ghz, 10 Gb ram, ATI Radeon HD2600 ).
    Will the used Macpro run Color without any problem, i'm hesitant because of the graphic card...is the 5870 that much better thanRadeon 2600 ??? Thanks

    The 5870 is a significant upgrade over the 2600 to the tune of 4x. I'd buy the used machine and pop a 5870 in it.

  • Is this graphic card good for After Effects Cs6 or superior?

    Quadro K620 2GB DDR3
    and if yes, if i buy two of them could i use them at the same time?
    Here there is a link to the description (not sure if i can post it)
    NVIDIA Quadro K620
    If not which one do you recommend me. My budget is arround 200-400€.
    Thanks in advance.

    As Todd stated, After Effects offers little if any GPU acceleration. Instead, it relies heavily on the CPU and RAM.
    With that said, Quadros are severely overpriced and underperforming with regards to most other applications including Premiere Pro. You see, the Quadros K620 is essentially a GeForce GTX 745 that I had warned a couple of people against: It is yet another "crippled" version of the first-generation Maxwell (GM107) architecture, with only 384 CUDA cores (for comparison, the GTX 750 Ti has 640 CUDA cores) and uses lousy DDR3 VRAM with a throughput of only 29 GB/second (versus the 750 Ti's GDDR5 VRAM and 86.4 GB/second memory throughput). Plus, Adobe CS programs in general are sensitive to the GPU VRAM throughput. In a word, the K620 is just plain lousy compared to consumer GPUs that cost one-fourth as much.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help: how to fix a line in this script (almost good) for change text to real UPPERCASE?

    app.findGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '\\l\\l+';
    app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("SC");
    foundList = app.activeDocument.findGrep(true);
    for (i=0; i<foundList.length; i++)
      foundList[i].changecase (ChangecaseMode.UPPERCASE);
    The idea is to select the magenta words in scaps to be setted in uppercase.
    The problem is the script (based in Jongware and P. Kahrel)  is converting all texts to uppercase not assuming the condition under “SC" character style.
    instead, it is changing all the text:

    try:
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = app.activeDocument.characterStyles.item("SC");
    *not tested

  • Would this be a good IMac for serious audio and video production?

    I am looking for a imac that is good for serious music recording in protools or cubase and serious HD video editing and effects with adobe premiere pro and after effects. I also need it to run good with the rest of the adobe products like photoshop, deamweaver, fireworks, flash, etc. I am a student. And this is what i have came up with. I have external HDs so 500gigs is not a problem with me.
    2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
    8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
    500GB Serial ATA Drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB GDDR5
    Apple Magic Mouse
    Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
    AppleCare Protection Plan for iMac - Auto-enroll
    Do you think this would be good for what i do?

    That would be a nice machine, espcially for the price (I am guessing you looking at the 21.5" iMac)

    Hi Hun
    Thank you so much for your advice. And yes it worked out perfectly i am so happy with it, it is a fabulous machine, i love apple products that are very impressive with regards to technology and keeping out the viruses that all other computers can get.
    I told my husband that he should be lucky and he laughed lol, yes he loves it too.  When we pay for something here we are very protected even if its a private sale, even better when through paypal, which is a good thing.  The trading standards here are very strict and have to pass all sorts and if no its thrown out plus the banks give us protection when we buy something too, if its not what it should be we are reimbursed and the seller has to pay the bank then, so yes we are very lucky.
    I agree this community is fabulous, plus i am very happy also as i was able to "pay it forward" too i answered somebody's question that i knew the answer to i was so chuffed to bits hehe.
    Du to my disabilities i have to spend lots of time in hospital and when at home i spend most the time on the bed due to my spinal injury, from hit and run, so robert bought me the iPad 2 when it girst came out and i have love it all the time, still do but wanted to be able to do lots more so we decided to buy another macbook and so glad i found this one, whether i have to lie down or sit on the couch even for short periods i have the macbook on a lap try, has polystyrene balls in then a hard tray attached to it so the macbook is ver on anything soft, so it is very protected.
    Well sweet thank you so much for all your help, and no doubt i will have to call on you again, i will click the follow button for you and may have to bug you again lol. so no doubt speak soon.
    Take real good care
    Best regards

  • Will this version of XP Home work for Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac?

    For Christmas, I received Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac because I need Windows XP for certain reasons. First, I have several neat programs that only run on DOS and second, I miss MS Paint (I hate Seashore or Piantbrush) and Finally, I like MS Movie Maker better then iMovie. When I opened it, I got furious because found out that XP Home doesn't come with it, so I must purchase it online. I really need XP Home with SP2, and not XP Pro. I looked in the manuel and it says I cannot use OEM copies, but I looked at another discussion that said OEM copies were OK. Now I'm very confused, so I decided to make this post hoping that I can get a good final answer. Here is another problem, I only have $100 to spend because I'm saving up for a bigger gift that has nothing to do with computers. I want to know which copy will work.
    Copy No.1

    If you know a better copy under $100.00 that will be even more compatible with Parallels, tell me.
    Thank You and I hope you can answer my questions.

    You have an intel based mac. that is one particular Original Equiptment Manufacturer. Now, what parallels does is build a vitual machine inside your mac to make it OEM compatible inside the mac Operating System to make Windows XP Home to work within the mac environment. Once it is fully installed, you can use mac and windows XP home together at the same time. You can also install XP home in mac boot and use it separate from mac as well to do your work separate of being on mac ss well. carefully read the instructions and the key part again is putting in P.T, for it to work properly.
