This isn't true as written. If it takes you 2 hours to edit a project now, it will STILL take you 2 hours to edit the project even with that super-duper new whiz bang computer. Total time saved: ZERO.
You mention a rendering speed increase of 8X. While that may be true for some people, most won't be upgrading that far, and will only see rendering speed increases of maybe 2X. This isn't too relevant as long as you manage your time well (render overnight/during lunch) or use a decent NLE that allows you to render one project at low priority while editing another. AFAIK neither Premiere nor FCP will allow that yet (inexplicably allowing only one instance of themselves at a time) > The speed cuts back on the processing time. The faster the processor > the faster it gets done. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
