Pinnacle (in my experience) gets flaky when you have long projects (45 minutes plus) with lots of effects and transitions.

I tried to run a demo version of Pinnacle 11 on my 3GHz Pentium D, 2 GB RAM, and a 256MB video card. It was not a pleasant experience, everything was slow and at greatly reduced resolution.
I believe a Core2Duo, or its AMD equivalent is a minimum requirement to start with Piinnacle. It would also help if your motherboard was at least 1066 front side bus, with sata 2 drives. There are some cheap mother boards out there that offer legacy connections (IDE). These are not for HD editing
