It performed quite poorly on this computer, but not poor enough for me to give up on it. I have an Athlon 1800+ with 1,5GB ram and still waiting for my 120GB HDD but I think this computer will do what it is supposed to. I seriously doubt that Cinelerra will not run fast enough on this computer unless I start working with 10 video tracks in a 3 hour long film or something like that.

This software was not designed for the amatuers but for the real professionals – how well it performs at this task, though, I shan’t be the one to tell.

On my dual Celeron-500, Cinelerra is slow. Not unusably slow, but slow. It leads me to believe that on a more recent system, it would be reasonable, and maybe their requirements/recommendations are a bit inflated. Really it depends largely on what you’re wanting to do. Stringing together 720×480 frames and syncing them up with audio isn’t terribly hard work, so for basic editing, probably any Pentium-class CPU would be usable. But if you’re going to put transitions and other effects in there, that can be very hard work. For some effects, even that quad-CPU monster I built at work a couple of weeks back will leave you waiting for a bit.
