Great info Dave. So now my question is back to the simple “is there really any need to move to Mac to run Vegas?” To get the max performance out of Vegas, is it wise, then, to stay with a WIN 7 64bit machine?
My current editing PC (custom built) has an aging Supermicro MOBO. I have dual Xeon E5440 2.83Ghz CPUs, 16GB RAM, running WIN 7 64bit with 4 internal HDDs and 2 external 6TB RAID-5 boxes. Graphics card is a NVIDIA 470GTX. I need to retire my aging Video Toaster card (only using NewTek’s SpeedEDIT for Photo Montages) and add a BM card to I/O HD to studio monitor for Vegas playback and I/O analog stuff. The question was either update the current PC or jump to Mac. Sounds like I should stay with PC.
Suggestions, comments? Thanks.
