i7’s are much cheaper than Xeons, I urge to you look at the pricing of an 930 or 980 Xeon equivalent. The same will also go for the 2600k’s.
Prices in server grade equipment are much higher (they follow different specs and go through much more testing) and that what is Apple is using on the Mac Pro.
I agree though on the USB3 thing. No reason to ditch USB3 because of Thunderbolt. However the same could be said for the supposedly upcoming Firewire S1600 and S3200, I doubt though the industry is looking at them seriously. USB3 Cards can however be had from lacie for the Mac Pro.

[john spirou] “And our final media , is always uncompressed MOVs or AVIs , send via network to the Air.”
I mean really John..Where do you work? I’ve read your other postings on another thread on Avid, this kind of commenting reminds me a hell lot of the average “technician” working on Greek TV stations which almost always has their facts wrong… and by the way almost all of them use airtime software with playlists for their air time (SD) with compressed IMX or other mp4 wrapped formats.
We send IMX or ProRes to adstream (a Greek intermediary agency for digital delivery between Post houses and Broadcasters) we would never send uncompressed.
I don’t know why you guys are so bold and use uncompressed…Any data center behemoth I don’t know about?

If they’re using the latest version of quicktime,be that Windows or Mac OSX the ProRes video should be playable, whatever the frame rate. If they see black they could have problems in their computer.

[Dave LaRonde] “XDCam footage typically weighs in at 35 MB/sec. DVCPro HD is at 100 MB/sec.”
You probably mean the same but to specify more detail:
DVCPRO-HD is 12,5 MB/s (at 100Mbits) and XDCAM is 4,3 MB/s (at 35Mbits)

Since you’ve tried everything it has definitely something to do with SL in general, maybe the firmware hasn’t been updated correctly(it may need to be). At would at least contact BM and test another PCIe Slot as a last resort.
I can’t think of anything else…

Did you try uninstall-installing Final Cut Studio and BM Drivers?

This happens when a preference pane is 32bit only. When it reopens, does it say: Blackmagic bla bla 32bit?

Painful recommendations but you can try the following:
1. Repair permissions (you can use onyx or whatever)
2. https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048 – Re-run the combo update this time: 10.6.4
3. Trash prefs: use Digital Rebellion’s Preference Manager.
4. Uninstall FC Studio and BM Drivers, Reinstall FC Studio BM Drivers
(You can combine the above)
5. Finally the surely most painful: Roll back to 10.6.3 it’ll 95% work just fine.

It may not be the problem but Check folder:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/
What do you see?
You also have OpenGL problems. 10.6.4 had openGL issues (apple released an update but it was mostly targeted at games) what graphics card do you have?

Do you have the crash log?
