U can edit using any system you want, it's just how long it will take you to perform certain actions.

Sure it is, just make sure you have plenty of disk space available.

I doubt it will feel extremely zoomy, but it shouldn't try your patience too much.

Don't worry yourself about how much ram you use for graphics. As long as you have enough to display 32 bit 2d graphics at the resolution you wish to use (within reason, of course, 1600x1200 should be no problem) more graphics memory won't speed anything up, unlike 3d gaming applications.

It sounds like you have 512 megs of ram, and are using 32 of it for shared graphics memory. If you run a fairly normal screen resolution like 1024x768, or 1280x960, you might get a tiny boost by cutting back the memory assigned to display use to 16mb. That should free up those extra 16 megs for Premiere to hog. ^^;

No big deal, though.

I use 1280x1024, have 32MB of onboard video memory, and have 512MB of RAM on an Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47GHz, running at 1.4GHz) so if I can edit on this, you should be able to edit on your system. Hell, Premiere was really fooking slow on my 450MHz AMD K6-2 with 256MB of PC133 RAM.

Well, if you want something cheap but lightning fast... You can get something like mine, a Intel Celeron 1.7GHZ, 256MB RAM, Geforce 4 128MB and a 120GB hard drive...

All of my videos to date have been made on a machine with a Duron 800, if that's any consolation.
