Kona LHe or 3
I’m setting up a system for a home office edit suite. I’ll be getting a new MacPro and now I’m looking at Kona cards. Since the MacPro has PCI-e slots I’m looking at the Kona LHe. I don’t foresee the need for cross-conversion, so that’s why I’m not going for the Kona 3, but am I selling myself short? I will be doing more and more HD material, but right now it’s mostly SD still. I’m getting a loan for this system and I don’t want to be paying for obsolete hardware. Is the Kona LHe going to be replaced soon making the Kona 3 worth the extra cost? (BTW my graphics card is going to be the Quadro FX 4500 so are there any known conflicts between these two cards)?
I had searched the forums, but I was getting trouble shooting threads instead of comparison threads. Which reminds me, if there’s a place to compare the 2 side by side please send me that way. Sorry for bothering you pros with this, but this is part of my first big purchase for my own business and I want to make sure I’m doing right. Thanks!
