FCP 4.5 production Suite
500GB G-Raid Firewire800
Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
I believe I have the stock display cardWill I improve performance on the 800FW going to a PCI card rather than the FW on the back of the MAC?
What display crad can I upgrade to to improve refresh rate?
I don’t want the Radion that takes up 2 slots.Thanks on advance

yes – it will also free up the FW port on your mac for other things.

I believe he can only get the X800 for his Mac (Unless he finds an X850 on Ebay or somewhere). The X850 is BTO only.
