    My system has lots of stuff and it all runs like a top. Minimal advantages for me dont warrant all the hassles of a clean install of everything on the system (Adobe Suite, utilites, and other fine tools).
    I’m gonna take a pass and wait a long while for Snow Leopard and
    64 bit FCP (I didnt buy CS4 for the same logic). The computer and software work well, they do what I need and for me thats the bottom line. Each to their own…

    Likewise!
    I just got through configuring a new Nehalem machine
    with all the Mac and Windows programs I own,
    with all the requisite plug-ins installed on both platforms,
    and that took a full week of installations and entering endless serial numbers,
    rebooting after installs, etc.
    When I think of all the plug-ins that need to be installed
    and may or may not work with FCP 7 until they are upgraded:
    Magic Bullet Looks
    Colorista
    Boris Continuum 6
    Sapphire Effects
    Boris Red
    Instant HD
    All the Trapcode plugs
    FX Factory
    Core Melt
    Nattress
    Tiffen DFX
    etc.
    Not to mention CS4 Production Premium apps possibly having conflicts…

    I am also wondering about video card support from Matrox, AJA, Blackmagic etc.
    Raid driver support…
    I will definitely let the brave souls in between projects take this release for many test drives before I commit to doing the new install! Everything is working so well together now,
    I really hate to screw that up!
