64-bit OS required for future releases of Adobe Premiere and After Effects

Link via Adobe

Future releases of Adobe Premiere® Pro and Adobe After Effects® software will no longer support 32-bit operating systems. Most PCs purchased since 2005 are already running 64-bit operating systems or can be upgraded. Mac OS X and Snow Leopard are already 64-bit capable.

In other words, if you’re running Snow Leopard, you’ll be ready for the 64-bit optimization in future releases of Premiere Pro and After Effects. If you’re using Windows Vista or Windows 7, install the 64-bit version. Adobe is also recommending a minimum of 12GB of RAM for optimal performance.

Premiere Pro CS4 is available at an education discount price of $349.

After Effects CS4 is available at an education discount price of $349.
