I've been using Adobe Premiere 6.0 for many years now because it does what I need it to do (except edit HDV) and I neither want to spend the money on an unnecessary upgrade or face a new learning curve.
When I retired my old P4 1.6 MHz system, I installed the software on a Dell Vostro 400 with a dual core 2.83 Mhz CPU. My render times are an order of magnitude longer than they were on the old P4. For example, a 7 min segment with relatively few special effects and no transitions took TWO HOURS to render. My old system would have done the job in a few minutes.
Anyone have any thoughts what I should look into? I've run several anti-virus packages on it and the system is clean as far as they can determine. I may have conflicts with my soundcard (SB Audigy) which couldn't address both CPUs and had to be fine tuned to access just one (grr... no one mentioned that when I bought two Audigy cards thinking the first was bad).
Very frustrating to tell a client I should have the project done in 24 hours only to find it will take about 10 hours just to render the stuff.
TIA
