    Yep. The recommended specs are the 2.33 Ghz and as much RAM as you can.

    From AJA.com:

    • MacBook Pro (2.33GHz Core 2 Duo minimum), 2GB or more of system RAM, ExpressCard/34 FireWire 800 card or ExpressCard/34 Sata Controller

    Good excuse to upgrade your system!

    I know I cannot push this too hard, since it is out of spec but I think there is something wrong with the computer as a whole. Since the IoHD is doing most of the work and FCP can playback ProRes footage just fine and I just have the problem with capturing it.

    But I’m not pressed to upgrade so much that I cannot wait to see what comes out in Sept (hopefully).

    It still takes a bit of power to oush that ProRes around for display on your mac. That MBP you have might not be a Core2Duo either, it might just be the coreduo. Supposedly that 2 makes a difference.

    I would wait until September too.
