Here we go again about how 'demanding' pinnacle software is on resources and about the fact that a powerfull PC is needed.....blahblahblah. It's CRAPPY software. In my humble opinion when the hardware is powerfull enough to run Avid Xpress Pro ($1400)and Sony Vegas ($700) and pretty much everything out there (except Pinnacle Studio) without a glitch it should also be fine for Pinnacle Studio ($50).......Even Pinnacle Liquid runs without problems. I guess people are just blind and they don't accept the painfull truth....Studio sucks.
