Well, I personally know about a dozen guys using it and not one has reported
any problems, however, bear in mind that we all spec'd our computers and
didn't buy any HP's, Compaq's, etc. We all bought Dell and Gateway
computers and got the prosumer versions or work stations, and thus have
hotter processors and extra mem.

Most of the problems i've followed in the user groups are most always
related to slow processors and low memory low to medium end consumer app
machines, which usually spell, low end motherboards and low end everything
else along with it.

IMO that's why a lot of folks don't have Mac problems, cause the machine
spec is usually hotter like our G5's were. however, when one amply fits out
a PC it's not only close the Mac, it out clocks it as evidenced by the rate
at which rendering books on PC by comparison to our G5's and FCP both which
sucked the biggie moose. Some renders with a lot of masks and titling took
nearly all night. Even Liquid can do the same workload in less than 80
minutes, instead of 4.5 hours. And Xpress Pro is identical to Liquid
(probably has the same engine in it from FAST) :o)

Get the right gear for one's Liquid and it'll cook. Under power it (as with
most software apps) expect the unexpected to surface.
