I run a system with a 3.0 gHz processor and 1 gig of RAM (I'm getting 2 soon). it works fine with Production Suite, especially after I did the optimizations recomended here:
I'm assuming you have SATA drives? and another thing... if you're doing any heavy After Effects rendering it's a good idea to link your NLE computer to an old computer to use the extra processing power to do the rendering. works like a charm.
Quote from the VideoGuys website for all you PC haters:
[FONT=Helvetica,Arial][FONT=Helvetica,Arial]Videoguys is now giving WinXP our highest recommendation and it is the OS you should be building your new NLE system on.
Check to see if you can connect more SATA drives. I have 4 drives going and nearly 1,000 GB of storage. So much room that I put an extra bathroom in my H drive. Now a fridge in my G drive I wont leave my computer for anything.
