Luis,

A speed up of 2.5 to 3X using the same hardware is precisely the speed-up I
have been claiming was and is missing in the current Mac solution. A mere
$500 upgrade fee will get a FCP current user the speed which other
Intel-based NLE systems have been getting all along....When I made the
earlier comment that FCP was not optimized for the Intel platform, this is
what I was talking about.


Sorry if my prior comments have sounded like Mac bashing. My personal
accounting of Mac experiences were not necessarily at all typical, and I
will very likely buy another one at some future time. I was specifically
complaining about the now current Mac Pro Quad Xeon 3.0 as well as my prior
PowerMac Dual 3.0 with the current FCP Studio HD software. For my combined
$10,000 plus investment, I expected a lot more. The new ones are indeed a
lot faster, and this is long overdue....
