Adobe CS5 with GH1 footage? Discouraged.

[Averdahl]

I am still having issues with that setup your recommending.
Windows 7
4 gig ram
Intel Quadcore 2.4 ghz
Nvidia GEforce 8600 512 mb ram (no mercury enabled)
Sata drives - 7200
All Scratch disks configured to drives that are not C:\

Realtime preview is stuttering, stopping and audio keeps going. Very confused here. CPU load seems low and ram has some to spare.
Am I missing something basic like not setting preview window to full?

I am sorry to say it, but with 4GB RAM and with a Q6600 Quad Core @ 2.4 GHz that performance is to be expected. CS5 is a 64 bit application and the more RAM you can throw at it, the better performance you'll get. If you put in 16GB in you computer you will see a great difference, but the Q6600 will still be an issue when it comes to performance when cutting HD footage with CS5.

Is CS5 still a respectable editor today or do you really need to upgrade to CS6? Just wondering - someone might be selling me a CS5 version for a decent price. All I want to do is be able to edit natively and shorts. Thanks.
