Re: Kona 3 and FCPX 10.0.4

I too have a MacPro 3,1 w/ an 8800 GT. With a Kona LHe +, and a CalDigit HDPRO array.
I've found FCP X too sluggish to use. 10.0.4 was better, but still, compared to FCP 7, it's night and day différence in how un-useable and sluggish it is. 7 is snappy. X is like using new software on a machine that wasn't designed for pro-video.
I cut from SD DV, and DVCPRO-HD.

I think the tower's just too old as far as X is concerned. I mean if FCP7 can play crystal clear, no-frame dropping HD video, why can't X?

Anybody have any thoughts on how to make this machine more useable with X? As much as people complain about X, it's got some things going for it. And price-wise it's a great deal.
