what a nightmare all round (slumps in front of monitor…)

and to think how many wretched final cut pro upgrades i’ve bought over the years:

1 to 2
2 to 3
3 to 4.5

(sighs)

i just want a straight forwards fcp 4.5 to ppc final cut studio upgrade. shouldnt have dragged my heels i suppose, though it seems incredibly unreasonable of apple not to provide the standard one!

mind you, if BM are as excellent as usual we’ll see solid drivers pretty sharpish

[Matthew Ingram]

OK well seeing as how:

I’ve been running a 10.3.8/FCP 4.5 config untill now

_and_ am on a PPC Mac Dual 2.5

I ought to move quickly to get the FCP5 Upgrade before they turn it into a Universal only shebang…..

(sheesh this gets complicated at times)

[Matthew Ingram]

blimey. thanks very much neil, thats well and truly tried and tested.

–

still curious as to why this nVidia (which I bought with an eye on my maya) is so ‘special’?

[Matthew Ingram]

thanks lars that’s very useful.

funnily enough i run maya as well, and that desperately needs more space. i think i’d easily be able to accustom myself to the extra square inches 😉

[Matthew Ingram]

thanks bob,

just thought it sensible to check.

–

difficult to find an nvidia 6800 ultra? why so? because apple is now offering the higher-range nvidia cards as a built-to-order? or is this a pci-bus thing?

[Matthew Ingram]

sorry that should read:

does FCP struggle?

Apologies

[Matthew Ingram]

…ignore that…got it working…

[Matthew Ingram]

The installer for 4.8.1r2 seems to be broken. It freezes at the approval page……

🙁

[Matthew Ingram]

I’ll get those new drivers thanks.

[Matthew Ingram]

Thanks Luke
