You guys are making my "bleeding edge" fingers itch to install! No, no no no! Gotta resist....can't suffer with the load/unload blues... ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG! I need speed, speed, speed...........(CPU type)! Our quads are crying out from too much restraint....aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

that's cruel.

I tried to resist for a full 8 hrs or so, but deep inside I knew I was just another powerless upgrade junkie.
I was also motivated by the frustrating impression that my new quad system was not really giving me the performance improvement I was expecting- not just with CS3, but in general. My number one suspicion was that XP was somehow at fault.
I haven't had much experience with SP3 yet, but it is a definite performance boost to the Quad system, and I haven't run across any problems so far. If I do, I will post on this forum.
Specifically regarding Cineform: Aspect HD, HD Link, and my existing CS3 HD projects are all working as advertised.
It is tempting!!!

Do you know if it will improve Premiere pro 2 and Ae 7?
I just got Cineform Prospect and my computer is crashing all the time.
I have a Intel Core 2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13 GHz and 2 GB of RAM.
Can you guys recomend me a procesor that you think will be compatible with my mother board?, i got this MDG computer, and they dont give any info, just that is Upgradable and they charge like 10 $ for any question.

Other thing, should i get more RAM, is it usable even if Windows XP only utilizes 2 GB?

Thanks for your help guys...

What's you motherboard?

More RAM will not really help you.

Does 50% faster rendering mean...
(a) render times cut in half, or
(b) rendering speed increased by 50%?
