NP2 Calf
by Gollux on Jul 27, 2007 at 10:13:39 pm

I am new to NP2. Don't even have it but thinking about buying it. I have a Intel Mac Dual Dual 3Ghz 10gigs RAM, CS3 Prod Premium. I read the previous banter which was very interesting. It seems like the background rendering is the best most valuable feature since it's like getting a whole nuther CPU for 399 no? The second best part it would seem are faster previews. Questions I have, not having yet made it out of the NP2 welping box, are......

1. If I am background rendering can I still get faster RAM previews, or are the two advantages exclusive?

2. How much faster are the NP2 RAM previews than the comparable CS3 faster RAM preview type deal? Is there a preference in AE CS3 for getting the faster preview or does it shut off when NP2 is going? Everything is shipping by the way so I can't answer my own questions.

3. How is the clunkiness factor if any with the switching interfaces between AE and NP2. It seems like anything I have ever used that involves a peripheral app, like Zaxwerks(maybe a bad analogy) has a clunky side because you mixing two apps.

4. Can you background render in CS3?

5. By the way ?..... My Mac Pro is shipping with 2gigs RAM 4x512MB. I am buying 4x2GB. I have heard that maybe I should not install the 512 chips. Any takers?


Thanks a ton for any responses.
