Re: Can AE utilize MAC PRO 8 core system?

rendernyc,

Ahh, The light just went on for me with your comment. So unless I had sufficient $$ to solve the write-to-storage issues associated with multi layer comps, AND even more $$ for at least 8GB of RAM, 8 cores would be a bit of a waste at this point? Sounds like I would be better served then with less raw power, but invest in fast storage and RAM to make it sing...

With this MAC upgrade, I'm coming from a 2.53Ghz non-hyperthreaded world, so it's hard for me to imagine what 4 cores might do, let alone 8... I guess my thought is that with 8 cores, perhaps it's a good starting point, until I can afford to scale the machine up with the appropriate RAM/RAID. It seems like it would last me longer in the long haul, obsolescence-wise.... I want something VERY fast, yet I don't want it to become obsolete tomorrow if you know what I mean.

What would you do?
