In this case, I agree with Harm and John: The Q8400 isn't clocked all that much faster than your Q6600 to begin with. And unlike most games, Premiere Pro makes heavy use of L2 and/or L3 caches. The Q8400's higher clock and FSB speeds are offset by the inclusion of only half as much L2 cache as the Q6600. As a result, the Q8400 is no improvement over your current Q6600 in Premiere Pro CS5, and might actually be slower than your current Q6600 in this app.
And if you really need a new motherboard, CPU and RAM, don't cheap out on the CPU by going with an i5 instead of an i7: The fastest overclocked i5-2500K on the PPBM5 results list is barely faster than the fastest stock-speed i7-2600K.

Dan Furious Jun 15, 2011 3:43 AM (in response to RjL190365)a 100% Correct i was having the same problems until i went with a new system and you wouldnt beleive your eyes of how fast things really became it been like three weeks since i was adviced and am really pleased. . .
Do take their advice you will see not a big diffrence but a huge improvment of the rendering am using the GTX470 and its doing pretty well for me so probably you will only need cpu mobo ram the investment is so worth it...

Ivo Gomes Jun 15, 2011 4:05 AM (in response to RjL190365)There must be a misunderstood, I own an E6600, not a Q6600... so there will be an improvement over my current setup. My question is will it be enough to handle the avchd...but from what i'm learning it won't.
You are saying that an i5 would be a better choice than an i7 ?? And what abou the mobo? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ivo

Can you tell me what setup are you using?

Harm Millaard Jun 15, 2011 5:59 AM (in response to Ivo Gomes)Look here: Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5
In your case with AVCHD that falls in the difficult category, the i5 is out of the picture. Only i7 or better are viable choices.

You misread my post about the i5. I meant that the i7 is a better choice than the i5 at the same clock speed. The i5 has only four threads total; the desktop i7, eight threads.
