     I find that I can work with a very small project, say 5 or 6 minutes, but am told I lack system memory when the projects get larger, maybe 20 or 30 minutes.  I have Vista (Intel Q6600) and 4 GB RAM.  Should I be changing settings somewhere or am I doing something wrong?  This is my second project.  The first, as I have suggested, was short, but I was able to complete it.

    I've never used Premire Elements 4, but I edited together three hour length segments (cut together they made about a 30 minute film) a while back on one of my school's lab machines.  It had Premire Pro on the machine with 2GB of RAM and a dual core something-or-other.  I had no issues with slowdown when doing this, so I think your 4GB of RAM would be more than enough.

    Are you having problems with slowing down on larger projects, or are you just worried about this?

    Edit: What video card do you have?  I think the school machine had a mid-range dedicated card.  Maybe integrated graphics are slowing you down?
