Thanks to both of you for the guidance. Right now budget-wise we are unsure. Things are picking up pretty quick so were waiting till contracts are signed. But we believe we are in need of two mac pros at this time. My partner is the graphic designer and web as well. So I feel 8-core for him maybe and myself the 12. But if I can get by with the 8 core and get speed that will be great because the compressing right now on the dual core I have takes all day. That’s why I want CS5 because of the media encoder and plus the pipeline for photoshop to AE to premiere. Were really in need of speed because we are being asked to edit another show for a client.
What I was surprised about was how you both pushed the SSD. I looked at some this weekend and my concern is that they are too small to handle the amount of video I am using. I know I could buy multiple but that is something I don’t feel we will have the cash for after I upgrade the computer, software and what else will probably come up as a surprise. So thanks for all you help I will save these comments for later when cash builds up again!
