Glad to here a matrox user happy (long time to sow such a thing )
As soon i will finish actual projects i am gone give a try on 4.1 mx tools .
About ram i am little confused , what exactly you mean with 4 Gb per procesor ? do you use tow processors or you count the cores ?
I use 6 Gb DDR 3 1600 Mhz on Cpu intel I7 920 @ 3.6 Ghz + Asus P6T,
Quadro FX 1800 Velociraptor 300 Gb for system and a good pear of HDD in raid 0 for projects .
You think that is ok for projects 1440/1080 on vista 64 ? (it’s run ok on xp )
