athlon processor

I’ve had no luck, unfortunatley. AMD makes much better processors.

I run AVID express pro HD on a dual core 64 AMD athlon without a hitch. Had to upgrade the video card though. The system runs better than my dual pentium 4 at my office. Very clean.

You just can’t use Windows XP 64-bit version yet.

Also – you’ll need to watch which version of Avid you have (assuming Avid Xpress Pro here) – several versions have a codec issue with AMD processors which means that footage after it has had an effect applied to it will exhibit green lines all over the frame.

There is a work around in using an older codec pack (making HDV compatibility zero).

Hoever, the latest version of Xpress Pro (5.5.1) may have solved the AMD/green line issue. I’d check on the Avid forums. As well as the spec. You may well need a better/different graphics card as everything is now driven by Open GL.

Using a AMD 4400 64bit dual core…..Rock worlds. Intel pintel is losing market share fast. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight it’s the size of the fight in the dog and the underdog fights Hard. AMD Baby.
