Congrats on the new version (2.0) for Premiere Pro.
The processing time on my older 3.06 Ghz. Pentium 4HT, with 1 GB of Rambus memory, has increased by more than half! That's a very, very welcome improvement. Not only is ver. 2.0 faster, it seems to render better results too.
I really appreciated the free upgrade. The previous version (1.5) was so slow, that I would NOT have considered a fee-based upgrade. Not only was it slow, but after processing a piece of footage for 20+ hours and have Premiere Pro crash, it was too frustrating to continue using. The results were darn nice, but man, way tooo long to get them. I am impressed with the new version, so I am glad that I became a customer after all.
