having the biggest headfuck imaginable finding an affordable laptop to run adobe audition 2.0 (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/systemreqs/) (or 1.5) and adobe premiere pro 2.0 (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-25520388-Premiere-Pro-2-0/dp/system-requirements/B000E8JLDA/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&n=229534&s=software) (or 1.5)
need to use XP OS cause apparently they wont work with Vista. new versions - Audition 3.0 + Premiere CS3 are designed for vista but the betas SUCK BALLS- cant risk it.
512 RAM (prefer 1gig)
Microsoft DirectX or ASIO compatible sound card
1.4 Ghz processor with 7200 rpm hard drive (This is the hard part finding a laptop with 7200 rather than 5400 RPM).
Adobe-recommended graphics card (ATI X800 Express/X800 AGP/9800 Pro AGP 128 DDR/Fire GL V3100, NVIDIA QUADRO 3400 PCI EXPRESS/QUADRO FX 4500 PCI Express/QUADRO FX 4400 PCI EXPRESS/6800 SERIES CARDS (Ultra)/7800/QUADRO FX 540 PCI EXPRESS/Quadro FX 1400/Quadro FX 1300)
video cards and VRAM mean nothing to me but apparently has to be a 32-bit video card with 16MB of VRAM
whats the story with power?- seems like i only need a universal power adaptor to use a European laptop in the US...anyone used a US laptop over here?
Dell can sort me out for $800 (would rather pay around $500-600) but im loathed to go in that direction..might make more sense to wait till i get to the US and get a cheap refurb.
PLEASE HELP. this is doin my head in. :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:
