If we can edit on a iphone, can we run FCP on a maxed out new mini?

[Joe Murray] “Thanks for the link. I think what threw me off was the statement in this thread that “They’ve crippled the Mac Pro and iMac lines from running ethernet based storage easily.” I guess it should have said MacBOOK Pros instead of Mac Pros since no Mac Pros are based on core i5/i7 processors. “

Nope, it’s the Mac Pros, too, but it’s a different chipset and a different problem. Once the Nehalem Mac Pro (2009) hits 60 MB/s on its built-in Ethernet, it disconnects. The solution is to add an Ethernet card that doesn’t use the Hartwell chip, like the Small Tree PEG1D.
