Re: Can AE utilize MAC PRO 8 core system?

"depending on what kind of work you do though, the storage may be a bottleneck to watch out for"

Good point. So the key would be to run AE on the drive that comes with the machine, but locate the project(s) on a stripped set? Or is AE happier to run from a stripped set?

To make matters worse, I just called the vendor and the 8 core has shipped already. The quad just arrived today and sits unopened. So which one do I keep? I'm leaning towards being happy with the quad, and purchasing extra RAM for a total of 8GB. However, if I keep the 8 core, all I can afford is the 2GB that comes with it (at least for now). Arrrgggg.... I hate these decisions. Basically, I want the thing to still be very productive 5 years from now.

Dave
