Hello everyone, I would like to upgrade my Catalyst for an upcoming tour to make sure it will handle what I am going to throw at it. I am going to be running 6-8 SD clips a few times and I want to make sure it doesnt stutter. Heres my current set up....

Mac Pro 2.66 Dual-Core Xeon
8 Gig of Ram
ATI Radeon 1900 512 VRAM
I have 3 Hard Drives in it, 1 for the OS, and 2 of them set up in a RAID for the media library.

I was thinking about buying a SSD for the playback media, dropping the RAID, and using another drive to have the OS and content library. This way once I decide what I am going to use for content I can play it back from the SSD. Am i on the right path here or am i on crack? Also, is my video card up to par?

Thanks for any help and suggestions in advance. I really appreciate this. Want to get things handled before we get into pre pro.
