Premiere Pro 1.5 (patched to 1.51) will allow you to edit HDV so any PC capable of running it will do.

A couple of things to point out though.

1) When speccing up your PC make sure you have at least two physical hard drives. one for the Windows OS and one for your video editing.

2) As much Ram as possible

3) And, if you are serious about video editing HDV in Premiere then be VERY aware of the following....

The cineform codec that comes with Prmeiere 1.51 is NOT COMPLETE. That's about the best way I can find to mention it. What this means is that you will be able to edit your HDV captures in Premiere but not edit them in other s/w like After Effects. In order to be able to use you captures in AE (for example) then YOU NEED to purchase the full version of Aspect HD from Cineform.

This reads negative and if you are on a budget then I guess it is. However this is a great product and your HDV editing will be realtime. It's just a bit of extra expence, that's all.
