Tim – I do understand what you are saying, but I am not sure I agree with the point that it is the same performance if you were running AE and PP independently. I was able to run PP1.5 and AE6.5 at the same time with some performance issues, but nothing like this. I don’t know if it is the new versions or the dynamic link. I will try to do some tests to find out. I do believe it related to the dependency of the apps.
I have an additional question (Hardware) … Is it better to have a single 3.6 ghz hyper threaded machine or a 3.0 ghz dual-core processor? Is there much of a difference?
Thanks.
Joe
