AJA hardware works great right now on 10.5 DP.

Now FCP on the other hand….

Hi
😉 Won’t we all have to stump up $69 for the Leopard-compatible FCS maintenance release DVDs?
Too big for download…

Prepare to continue to be disappointed if you think Leopard is going to have your Apps make use of the extra processors. It won’t. What it will do is provide a means for the next iteration of Apps to scale much better with multiple cores. But the onus is still on the devs to do that. The best mutli-processing App at the moment (IMO) is Modo (the 3D App). It will scale pretty much linearly while rendering with up to 16 local cores.

Unfortunately 64-bit procs have been with us for many years and we are just now getting 64-bit OS’s (Vista, Leopard). It’s going to be another long wait before Apps are truely capable of taking advantage of all of your cores. By that time we’ll have 16 or 32 core machines.
