    possible the lack of ram, i know they reccommend 1gb, so that could be an issue..

    Runs fine on mine, and I only have 256. I have a 2.26Ghz Pentium 4 though, maybe the clock speed gives it a push.

    Regardless the software should run, the spec will only make it run better.

    It's Mac only software. Your best bet on PC is Adobe Premiere, if you want a professional standard.

    I would hardly call Premiere Professional.... Also, I assume you'll be downloading a Trial version.

    The same level as Avid Free or Final Cut Pro if used on a home computer.
