Video Editing Hardware + Software

Ross Nelson <rossrandomdata.net>

Does anybody know how that's actually calculated? For most software,
it seems completely arbitrary--more a took to get people to upgrade
their systems to get the latest and greatest software that would run
on the existing hardware.

For instance, MS Office doesn't need much, it'll run as well as any
other software on a slow system; it won't run at desirable levels,
but it'll work.

Video editing software won't quite run on a 400mhz (crawl, maybe) but
I'm guessing that 1.0 vs 1.4 won't make a difference at all. Of
course, don't go buying it based on my guess--I have been wrong once
or twice (but not three!).
