The easiest way is to go to the Corel site and look at the system requirements for running VS6 under the advert for Videostudio. (this is what I did) As long as your kit is as good or better than the spec then VS6 should run OK. The spec of my PC is shown on the side panel.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

Usually, it depends on the type of files you want to edit. If you are working with HD files, you need a strong computer for the faster rendering. AVCHD files stress computer along with HD .mov files.
As a rule of thumb, get the most powerful computer you can buy. Right now, a lot of rendering is done by the CPU along with some help with the GPU.
Then, with X6, you can choose Proxy editing. I don't and move right along in my editing. My computer can keep up.
