    You could just upgrade your graphics card to a quadro4000 for Cuda Acceleration.
    I know that when I went from a gts8800 to a gtx460 on a 2008 PC the difference was night and day

    Can you recommend a PC that won’t break the bank? I’ve been away from PC s so long that I am not sure which is best.
    Thank for everyones posts.

    Yes, I got my Dell M6600 through the refurb idea and it looked brand new when i got it. Saved about 1800 off list too.

    If OSX 10.7 and Windows 7 are in evenly matched systems, the Windows Machine will run CS6 faster.

    The way Windows 7 interfaces with the video card allows for markedly faster speeds in AE and Premiere.

    Make sure you have plenty of wattage in the power supply to handle a decent CUDA graphics card and get plenty of RAM.

    You can build/buy a very solid PC for the cost of a 27″ iMac with all the trimmings.

    Then why doesn’t Adobe just say they are abandoning Mac and get it over with. Then we can all move to Avid where they learned that lesson the hard way. Windows absolutely sucks!

    [Ed Stahr] “The way Windows 7 interfaces with the video card allows for markedly faster speeds in AE and Premiere.”

    even with the new mercury transmit?

    I believe you have the question mis-stated.

    Why doesn’t Apple admit they’re abandoning their serious pro user base?
