Hi Ben,
I know that the engineers were testing with the Color application before they left for NAB. Testing was been conducted with a number of different graphics cards as Color is a demanding application. There was no doubt that having fastest graphics cards that Apple provides had great benefits over the regular cards that ship with Macs. I think we only had time to test Color on Mac Pro’s before the show but the engineers will be doing more testing before Final Cut Studio 2 is released and before our associated drivers are released. I expect that we might also update our specifications pages in regards to Color so you’ll know what systems run well.
