Upgraded Premiere Editing PC Hardware – Not as quick as it should be! Is the Matrox P750 a problem?
Hi, I hope somebody can throw any ideas on a problem I am having.
I have just upgraded from a P4 2.6ghz 1GB Ram to a dual xeon 2.8ghz with 2gb ram, hardware raid array of 3 sata drives for my system disk and a seperate hardware raid array of 2 sata2 drives for my data.
I have transferred my AGP Matrox P750 from my old box and Premiere and other apps, even windows, doesn’t seem to be running as quick as it should. I have seen this spec machine shifting before in other setups.
Could it be that I have a machine that is overspecced and the P750 card driving 2 monitors is a bottle neck????
Anyone that could suggest a solution, would be much appreciated.
Motherboard is an ASUS NCCH-DL with AGP Graphics.
Regards
Richard
P.S I’m sure the P4 2.6 seems quicker in another box using the onboard video card????

Can’t answer the graphics card issue, but why would you use a 3 disk raid array for your system disk? Seems dangerous and unneeded. Better to use one for OS and add another raid of the remaining 2 disks for preview’s and scratch.
