Thanks Keif! Yes... it is really expensive. And the thing is that all of my gaming is done on my Xbox 360 so I won't use it for anything but the odd game of solitaire. I'm not doing any After Effects either. But I read that Premiere Pro 2 is using the GPU for rendering so I figured that I ought to dig up the dough.. And I'm going to test Avid Liquid Pro with its requirements of 256MB graphics card..
But I think I might settle for Quadra FX 1400. - www.boxmod.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "keif_leaf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 11:06 PM Subject: [AP] Re: Dual core or two processors? > Hey Sune, > Sounds like a nice setup.
