right. thanks for the re: indeed fw800 is not the way to go.
for the MAU we need an ATTO UL4S (on pcix machine) yes ?
and for the raptor we can use the normal SATA connection, yes ?
so to compile this a bit :
a new dualcore g5 2.0 with a SCSI disk or 10000+ SATA disk will be able to do 6 layers of DV smoothly with cat 3.4 and osx.4 ?
i assume the 7800 grphx card doesnt help really in straightforward mixing, it's mostly for fx calculations on the gpu right ? what would be needed for 8 layers smooth DV mixing ?
thanks for all the info,
gideon
