MACPRO vs Quad (G5)
Hi,
I have bought a new Quad Intel 2.66 with 5Gb ram and Ext Sata drive.
With Quad Intel I can play 4 PiP layers DVCPRO50 footage and then I Have red line.
With Quad G5 same configuration I can play 11 PiP layers with same DVCPRO50 footage.My friend has tried with his Quad Intel 3ghz with DVCPRO50 footage, only 4 layer then red line.
Why this big difference with these two computer?
I use FCP 5.1.4Thank you

Realtime is affected by hard drive speed, NOT processors. Are you all running the identical hard drive configuration?

> Realtime is affected by hard drive speed, NOT processors. < It's that simple? Cool. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Thank Walter, the strange is that on my quad G5 I have e normal Lacie Fw800, and on my Quad Intel I have a Raid Sata with 140mbs. I have connect FW800 on my quad Intel but the same problem.
I think it can be a FCP problem with intel processor because I have the same problem on my MacBook pro and a test is been done by my Aja’s dealer. On is Macpro 3.0 Ghz only 4 layer then red line. (with DVCPRO 50 file)
Thank you
Paolo
