I was just looking into upgrading to VS 10+. Under system requirements is says Pentium 4 or higher. Over on the side it say, "Video Studio 10+ has been designed to work best with Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading Technology" ( as if the whole world only uses Intel processors).
If you look at my system, I have and Athlon 2100+. In all the reviews I have ever read the Athlon line of CPU's out performed the Pentium 4 hands down, especially when it came to graphics.
But since VS 10+ was "designed for the Pentium 4", does this mean it will not run on my system?
And if VS 10+ is not right for my system, would I be better off upgrading to VS 9?
Is my system VS 10+ Compatible?

Welcome to the forums..
First you will not be able to upgrade to VS9, through Ulead anyway. You would have to find vendor that still sells it, thus not getting an upgrade price.
Unless you are wanting to do Hi-Def editing, your system is fine. Those steep system requirements are for the resource intensive HDV. Even with that, VS10+ provides the ability to create and use Proxy files, which are duplicate files created at lower resolutions so less adept machines can handle them while editing.
