I’ll check it out. Yeah, I figured I’m really not gonna be playing with this until late tonight or tomorrow. I forgot I also have to install winrar and a whole bunch of other minor utility apps and such. Have to download Quicktime, etc.
Thanks for the info, I’ll probably get into the BIOS after I’ve installed everything.
Cheers! -
ok right off the bat I’m noticing that it’s extremely slow simply transferring a 800 meg file to my desktop. I have a flash drive with all my adobe apps on them. I just dragged Premiere Pro (797 meg) and the latest update (273 meg) and they took almost a minute, whereas my baby PC takes less than a second. What up with that?

Got it at 10:18. I wanted to get a DVI to HDMI converter so i could keep both computers hooked up to the TV, but Walmart wanted $17 bucks, so I ordered one for $3.00. I can wait. Will now shut down and begin the installation of the Z800. Wish me luck!
Oh, thanks for the HDD installation info. Exactly what I wanted to know.

Hey Joe. For some reason I no longer get email notifications when someone responds to this thread. Did I use up my allotment? 😉
Believe me, Fedex won’t want to hear from me again for a while. The driver promised he’d be here by 10 a.m. but I just texted him and he said he’s in traffic and would be closer to 10:30 which is around the time he would have been here anyway. He doesn’t know I’m here all the time anyway, he thinks he’s keeping me from going to work for a second day. This is America in 2016. Even Fedex drivers are full of it!!!
I’m waiting for it to be delivered before I lay into this guy’s manager. I also plan on inconveniencing him by taking a ……real……long…….time……to…..sign….my……..signature…. if you know what I mean, heheheh… I’m not a vindictive person but I hate when I do things right and the other clown screws up but I have to pay for it and they make NO effort to rectify the situation. I would have had all day yesterday to set up and use the computer, now, as soon as it gets here, I have to go out and get some exercise for me and my son, and just do a bunch of stuff that I didn’t have to do yesterday. I mean, I’ve only got so many years of brain functionality left, you know? 😉
Anyway, I’ll leave you to your work. Oh, since I decided I WILL be adding a second HDD, what do I have to do to it once I install it? Do I have to format it or do anything for the computer to recognize it and assign it a letter? It’s been so long since I’ve done this stuff. Also, I see that I can get a 2TB Seagate HDD for $53 bucks. Are they any good? Any reason why you suggested that 500 Gig drive instead?

I just watched it and there is absolutely NO fluctuation in the quality of the static image. Looks fine from here.
Aside from that, I don’t do client work, I’m basically a hobbyist, and most of my videos involve green screen with a static background. In my test renders I see no difference in file size from my final renders including the background image. So, take it for what it’s worth. Pierpaolo more or less gave you the technical reasons.

Not coming until tomorrow. B**tards.

Thanks, Joe. Soooooo pissed. I’m home, my front door is open, but I just got an email from fedex saying they tried to deliver the package but NO ONE WAS HOME!!! Grrrrr….

Well, today’s the day and another question popped into my head. Do the CC 2015 apps run on WIndows 7 Pro? I still have my CC 2014 apps so if there’s a problem I’d rather just install those for now. I’ll post this as a separate thread so people other than Joe will see it 😉

Not the same problem but another example of Premiere Pro working perfectly and then changing things. For the past few days it has messed with my Audio Hardware settings, and each time I’ve had to do a different fix to get it working. I blame Gremlins.

Thanks again, Joe. I’ll give you a break today. Tomorrow the new toy comes, so get your rest 😉
