One reason Apple have an advantage is that they don’t have to make there OS run on a huge number of hardware configurations unlike Microsoft, I’m not sure Apple could even handle what MS have to do with every OS update.

I personally prefer to be able to update my computer as I go, for the cost of the parts and with that you accept and understand the job MS actually have to do to make there OS work whatever I may throw at it.

Pci Express out performs PCIX pure and simple in so many ways.

Just have to find a decent board with an X4 slot, if ya go Pentium D route there are only 2 boards and one sucks, I’m about to try the other, the nice dual Xeon board is a Supermicro, it’s a cost issue as to which you go for.

So is that a no ?

I won’t be able to make a 720P 24fps film using the Decklink system I’d like ?

Erm wouldn’t the deck be for the new JVC HDV camera that is the only small camera of any use to the EBU’s choice of 720P ??

I would buy a Decklink tommorrow if you supported all the forms of 720P

The player is the JVC BR-HD50E

Recording formats are 720p/24, 720p/25, 720p/30, 576p/50, 576p/25, 576i/50
