LR 2 computer requirements for speed

What are the computer requirement for a PC to operate LR2 fast.
Memory amount & speed.
CPU type and speed for 64 bit
Hard drive speed and cache

Sony-naples -- another thought -- since it sounds as if you are about to buy a new computer and have decided on 64 bit to take advantage of LR's designed-in ability to use it -- I'll try to save you from the frustration I had to go through when I made that same decision.
I started out ordering another brand of hardware, supposedly with Vista 64 installed, but they shipped it with a 32 bit Vista. When I complained, they offered me a rebate on the OS which I used to buy the 64 bit OS version. After many hours of frustration and time on the phone with tech support people, one of them confirmed that while my hardware was suitable for 64 bit use, the hardware company had ceased supporting it, so it was lacking a driver. He made an appointment to install the appropriate driver remotely, but when he didn't keep the appointment, I called and got yet another support person who asked if I was aware that would void my warranty, whether that might matter to me, and why did I really need 64 bit. I explained I was buying this expressly to use the 64 bit version of LR. When she understood, she was very helpful - and I sent it back for a full refund. But in the meantime, I had wasted at least a month before I finally got a machine that would do what I wanted.
So in addtion to buying hardware that is adequate for running 64 bit, make sure the company will actually allow you to use it with the 64 bit LR!

  • Computer Requirements for Premiere

    I've never edited before. I have a high interest in creating short clips :15 - 3:00 worth of video. SD Video with possibility of HD. I have no prior knowledge so I'm vary cautious in purchasing a computer and this new premeire. I have a few Questions that hopefully someone can help shed some light on.
    1. Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHZ processor - 4 GB DDR2 Memory - EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card. --- Is this sufficient for running the program seemlessly. I know minimum requirements are only 1GB for SD, but I was more concerned with graphics card and processor handling tasks easily.
    2. I'm really worried about getting a Hard Drive that is fast enough to handle this program. Seagate Barracuda 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - Will this do the trick, or do I need to go up to 10,000 RPM?
    3. Most importantly - I'm worried about getting Adobe Certified Cards. Is it necessary to have a Card? (When I say card I mean like Matrox Axio, not sure if "card" is the correct way to refer to it.) Can I manage to import video and use Premiere without it? I'm not even quite sure what the purpose of the card is for.
    Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated. This is probably stupid questions to ask in this forum, but you all know what is best and I would like to avoid spending money on a program if I don't have all the necessary components to take advantage of the program.
    Thanks,
    nofx1727

    If you are planning on editing HDV, you will need a video card that has HD component outputs. If you use one monitor plus the HDTV you can use the NVidia Quadro FX-560, with two monitors and a HDTV you might prefer the Matrox Parhelia APVe which I use. I am replacing mine since I now have a fancy AJA XENA LHe I won in a drawing. The new card provides the HD output so I only need a dual headed card.
    There is no need for HDV editors to have anything other than a firewire connection for capturing HDV. And as I said, output can be done with the video card.

  • Computer requirement ??

    I've already built up three instrument drivers using LabView 7.1, but ,every time, after 20 mins working well with drivers, they started to go crazy.( dealing with signals form three different com. port)
    I know the computer requirement for LabView 7.1 is Pentium 3 ,640MHz with min. 256 Mb memory, but I only can get Pentium 3, 584MHz, 256 Mb memory.
    Is it the computer problem that they got out of control, or any other things??
    Thanks in advance!

  • What's the minimum Clock Speed Requirement for GB3?

    What's the minimum Clock Speed Requirement for GB3 (assuming one wishes to create and play mult. audio tracks within this current iLife app)? Is it 733mhz?
    Here's what i was able to find on
    iLife ’06 requirements:
    To install iLife, you need:
    • A Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G4, G5, or Intel Core processor; 733 MHZ or faster required for iDVD
    • 256 MB of RAM; 512 MB recommended
    • Mac OS X version 10.3.9 or Mac OS X version 10.4.3 or later; Mac OS X version 10.4.4 recommended
    • iTunes 6.0.2 and QuickTime 7.0.4 (included)
    • A DVD drive for installation
    • 10 GB of disk space to install iLife '06 applications

    Thanks Christoph, TIA, and AppleGuy!
    Christoph, what model are you using? You said you have even less Mhz, but your model looks like the same as mine.
    TIA, I looked at the other thread (thanks for the link) any idea what other models are affected by the sound output problem?
    I probably will back up first just to be safe, and won't try running them both at the same time. I was hoping though to have full functionality of the Podcasting features plus all the old music ones without slowing the machine down.

    Even though it says 4 GB RAM recommended, I think most experience users woild say 8 GB and up is the real minimum.
    Can't answer the Avid question.

  • My computer fulfills the system requirements for Adobe AIR but I am getng a no mssg

    My computer fulfills the requirements for Adobe AIR but Adobe Installer gives me a message that says I can't install because my computer does not have the system requirements.

    That's circular reasoning. Without knowing the exact specs of the computer, this is not going anywhere. You could be overlooking something simple.

  • My computer does not meet the requirements for iTunes 7.7

    Okay, so I think all these problems that I'm having are because my new computer does not meet the requirements for iTunes 7.7.
    The requirements are listed here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    I checked my system and I have:
    1. 1.60 GHz instead of 2GHz
    2. 511 MB RAM instead of 512 MB RAM
    I have no idea how to check MB for video RAM or MHz. Since it's not shown in system I'm assuming that this computer doesn't have any.
    The system requirements compared to mine are just off by a bit, but could this still be the problem?
    Also, could I use an older version of iTunes that will work with my system & could you please post the link for the download.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Firstly, please let us know more details about the issue, such as:
    1. What is your network environment, workgroup or domain?
    2. How do you implement DirectAccess?
    Meanwhile, regarding the requirements, please see

  • HT202239 This computer does not meet the recommended system requirements for 3D titles.

    Hey guys.
    Today I downloaded FCP 10.2 and when enabling 3D text this message appeared "This computer does not meet the recommended system requirements for 3D titles". I ignored it and continued working on the 3D text, everything looked fine. Could someone tell me what the difference is when working on a not compatible computer?
    Thanks!
    www.lightbroscreative.com

    Tech specs for 10.2
    256MB of VRAM (1GB recommended for 4K editing and 3D titles)
    I guess you have the minimum to download, but VRAM isn't enough for 3D.

  • Minimum computer system requirements for LabVIEW 7.1

    What are the minimum computer system requirements for LabVIEW 7.1?  I have a PC with the following specifications:  1.7 GHz Pentium-4, 512 MB RAM, and a 60 GB hard drive running Windows ME.  I tried installing LabVIEW on the system but kept getting the "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for this product" message.  What's the problem here?
    Thank you.

    Hi Enhan,
    You're problem may be related to the OS "Win-ME". 
    Your system appears fine, if there is room available on the HD.

  • Interesting spec on speed requirements for Leopard

    On the readme on the DVD, it clearly says "..G4 (867MHz min) or G5."
    I am not sure that these are the exact words, but I am sure about those parentheses, which would indicate that the speed requirement only applies to the G4s.
    Now, it may be a typo or a mistake, but it certainly indicates that there is no speed requirement for a G5. It could also be that all G5s are over the minimum, so it's moot - this I don't know.
    Anyway, I thought it was interesting.
    The instruction manualette is also interesting in that it has almost nothing about the install in it, basically saying stick it in and click. It probably is that easy for most, but I would at least have included some of the install options and what and how the install process works.
    I also wonder how many who have had install problems clicked "Skip" on the initial DVD selfcheck?

    These manuals didn't come with Leopard? http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/leopard/
    Have a nice day!
