From search, I can see most people use Sony Vegas.
I have a copy of Premiere Pro CS5 running on an old Core Duo Thinkpad (64-bit O/S) with one 7200 RPM hard drive and it runs fine. I'm not even taking advantage of the Mercury Playback Engine. I use it on set when I need to download video from the camera as well as make quick edits or conversions.
