Hi Keith. Easy question. Nope. There are lots of reports from folks with newer machines that they are having major issues with Adobe CS5, my NLE of choice. Computer geeks I respect have educated me as to why hyperthreading on the Mac is not as good on the PC. Ive lost any trust for Apple supporting the Pro market after the FCP XXX debacle.
I have called ADK who takes an active presence on the Adobe forum and have CS5 running in their shop.
Eric is well versed in what editors want and need. He took the time to listen then suggest a configuration for me. I will wait until after NAB, but Crapple will soon be a distant memory and a 30% performance boost is in my future.
