Chris,
FCP is a decent system but my FCP friend likes the fact that Premiere Pro adn Vegas can out put to an HDTV or even an old SD TV using the the video cards S-Video out. All we could do with FCP is use dual monitors. Premiere will just out put the image of the program monitor to the NTSC monitor. This makes the RT of Premiere Pro look much better with titles. It will not look as good as Edius but real close. I admit you have to tweak the graphics card or it can look like crap on the NTSC monitor.

By default FCP might show a not rendered screen but if you opt for unlimited RT it will just drop frames like Premiere Pro.No not rendered screen.
Niether Vista 32 bit or XP 32 bit will see a full 8 gigs of RAM or even 4 gigs. It is one of the limits of a 32 bit OS not a limitation of Vista or XP. Even NT had a 64 bit version.
Other than that I agree with your comments.

Both CS3 and CS4 will out put to the NTSC monitor. In CS3 you had to have you monitor connected with an S-Video cable and opt for Acclereated GPU Effects to make the Premiere program monitor out put to the NTSC TV monitor. In CS4 for realtime preview playback you do not have that option. You instead select the external monitor listed under devices. I get very little realtime with CS4. CS3 was much better. It still works just not as good. CS4 works much better with Vista 64 bit as opposed to XP 32 bit.
If you notice less RT let Adboe know it to. I like PP CS3 better myself.

Premiere Pro CS3 for PC will out put to a NTSC monitor if you opt for GPU Acclerated Effects in the play back settings and your graphics card has dual heads. You have compatible, standard and GPU Accelerated Effects as options to choose from. Standard would also out put to the TV monitor but with little realtime horse power. With PP CS4 on a PC you can chose to use the HDMI/S-Video port of the video card for output device in the play back settings. The CS3 method was a lot better. It gave me much more realtime horse power. Premiere is one of the few programs that can do this. Final Cut Pro can not.

I was gtting some good RT previews on the NTSC monitor using my graphics card with PP CS3. PP CS4 does not get as much RT on my system.
