Wow! That’s impressive. I think I’m going to just roll the dice on this and go with the better card. Comes a point when you have to stop riding the see-saw and make the jump. Thanks for your input on everything so far.

Russ,
Do you have the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB card in the MacPro now? That is the only card approved by Avid so in order to make this new machine run both FCP & Avid I would need to use the NVIDIA card. I’m curious how much of a difference there is between the two cards (ATI & NVIDIA).

Are you using the ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics card with your machines or the stock NVIDIA cards? I’m trying to build this machine as a dual boot box with FCP & MC software but Avid has only approved the NVIDIA cards, imagine that!

Russ,
What is your set-up?

Thanks Russ and Tom for helping me narrow this down. I’m probably going to go with internal storage at first, thinking of 2-500 GB drives. Cheaper on the wallet right now than an external set-up.

Russel/Tom,
I had to create a new account, for some reason CC deactivated my account.
All my connections are component for now. I’ve only had clients ask about HD so I know it’s eventually coming to my door. What I like about my Avid system is the I/O options I have available. I can send out up to three composite signals (one for my NTSC monitor, one to my client monitor and one to my VHS dub rack, yes they still ask for them!). My S-video out goes to the DVD recorder and the component out goes to my UVW1800 & DSR80 through a LAIRD edit router. It seems most of the people I have talked with keep recommending AJA over BM and with that I was considering the AJA IO LA box. I’ve also been thinking of building this system with the new MacPro 8 Core machine. Have you guys heard any reports on how they are doing out there?
