HI Todd,

You said, “Anyone using Premiere Pro CS5 is getting all but one of these advantages; people with certified CUDA cards are getting one additional advantage.”

What is that one ‘additional advantage’?

More to the point – what kind of performance hit or reduction would the poster be taking if he were on the i7 iMac he mentioned, instead of a Mac Pro with a proper CUDA video card.

I’m new to the PPr world, so sorry if my terminology is off.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hey Tom,

Man, that guy is super-annoying…. but, yes, very informative [just had to dig my nails out of my chair every time he sang his songs].

Seems like the i7 is a no-brainer.

Thanks,

Wayne

Me again…

Just to clarify…

It appears as if the i5 I’d be getting is a Quad-Core 2.8Ghz,
whilst the i7 would be 2.93

Thanks again,

Wayne

Once again,

Thanks for the input gents – most helpful
