Hi Steffen - please contact me off board and I can help with upgrade pricing.
At the moment there are some issues with the new Mac Pro computers and OS graphics drivers. The 2 x 2.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (8 cores) with ATI Radeon HD 5870 seems to be a good starting point.

Nev.

Try an Nvidia GT120 Graphics card until apple have sorted out the drivers
Also suggest a USB card (sonnet Allegro) with an internal port for dongle security and an SSD for content
Upgrade cost is £1000.00 (list) from V3 to V4 (Pro-Pro, DV-DV etc...)
Let me know if you need any further assistance
