    Sooo I was wondering if I could use Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 11 on my Vostro laptop (check my specs in my siggy) :)

    The Minimum requirements for Pinnacle are as follows:
    - XP or Vista (32-bit)
    -1.8 GHz or higher
    - 512 MB (1 GB recommended)
    - 1 GB required for HD and/or Windows Vists (2 GB recommended)
    - 1.5 GB required for AVCHD (2 GB required on Windows Vista)
    -DirectX 9 or higher compatible graphics card with 64 MB (128 MB recommended)


    Please help! I want to make sure that this software won't slow down my computer and of course I NEED YOUR HELP!

    I know that my computer is compatible with the minimum requirements but since Vista needs 1 GB to operate and I only have 2 GBs total, will Pinnacle slow down my OS and memory???

    hope to hear from you all soon!!! I'm anxious to use this product if I am able to

    If those are the reqs for it, then your machine is overkill.

    You should be more than fine. It'll work no problems.
