Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

look at the last one.. a friggin 64bit laptop lol....

COOL! Although I am not an AMD fan, it's pretty impressive! The Aviator GX8 looks to be a good choice too.
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

Power Mac G4 - 867 single
1 Gb RAM
Mac OS 10.3.1 Panther
FCP 4
DVD Studio Pro 1.5
Superdrive
80 Gig internal
80 Gig external
2 NEC 17" Multisync monitors
Keyspan serial adapter
Sony UVW-1800 deck (borrowing it, I run the video through the DVX)
Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro mixer
Sony PVM-9L2 9" monitor (16:9 switchable)

Is it actually possible to upgrade my processor? I've talked with Apple tech guys a bunch of times and they all say that you can't do it. Are they just trying to get me to buy a new G5? I'm not about to do that.

you realize your insane... wait I guess that's why MAD is your name.
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

This affliction/insanity/madness is called the obsolecense syndrome! ;D

In a sense, you can never have enough hardware. I guess it's a guy thing. 8)

ccdemon:
it is possible to upgrade your processer through third party processer upgrade cards... however, i would not recommend getting a processer upgrade, especially with "our" mac (I have a single 867 as well) because other parts of the system will limit the speed greatly (bus speed, various caches) especially as FCP becomes optimized for the g5 etc... They are quite overpriced as well IMHO.
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

You should check out the specs on the new G4 chip Powerlogix is using.   They claim "it has recently become common knowledge that the latest PowerMac G4 architecture, in spite of a faster bus and DDR SDRAM, performs no better than previous generation models when benchmarked with identical processors. (http://www.barefeats.com.) This is also true when comparing the latest models to a PowerMac G4 upgraded with a PowerForce Dual G4. Installing a PowerForce Dual G4 card into an older PowerMac G4 gives equivalent CPU performance to the 2002 PowerMacs, for significantly less expense."   Check out http://www.powerlogix.com for more info.

The way I look at it, I am upgrading a 400mhz machine to a dual 1.2Ghz machine for $800US, and I don't have to move any hard drives, or re-install all of my software, or worry about existing hardware compatability.
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

That is encouraging, however, I happen to know my g4 is limited by a 256k L2 cache and no L3 cache. That definitly hinders its performance and might warrant a whole new machine instead of a processor upgrade. However, if your G4 isn't a cripple like mine, I'd say go for it!
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

Nevermind me... I don't know what I am talking about... The L2 and L3 caches are replaced by the ugrad card. I should do my homework before I make all these wrong statements 8)

WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!! ANyone want me to setup their comp's????
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

Duuuuaaadddeeee... Sweet! As in really sweet! Can you take a picture of that for us? ;)
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

Commodore 64... Right! You didn't tell me you owned a computer museum!

10 FOR X = 1 TO 10
20 A = A + 1
30 PRINT A
40 NEXT X

That's all this computer was good for now! Of course it really was cool then! I enjoyed every minute of it. I was really excited when I exchanged my dataset to a floppy drive with a FastLoad cartridge. It's too bad Commodore died, their Amiga line could have dominated the video industry ( ::)). Remember the first Video Toaster? ;)
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

Flinstone, I forgot to mention......

My hard drive is an "A-Track"

And my floppy is actually a Toaster.
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

The Toaster is soooooooo sooooooooo awesome!!!!! It may not have been one of the originals, but it was on point for sho. They had one in my Media Production Classes at my high school that they recenetly phased out. I wanted to see if they'd give it to me, but no such luck. I was really hoping to use some of those absolutely ridiculous transitions... like the girl that did a cartwheel across the screen transition... it just doesn't get better than that. ;)
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

looks like i got beat to the punch. the video toaster is awesome, so is the bread toaster / floppy drive. but seriously, isn't a bread toaster a great invention?
 
Re: What's your NLE Syestem?

very true, but toilet paper doesn't taste good... at least i don't think so. I can't say i've tried it.

Your still insane... or mad... whichever, in any event, your one lucky s.o.b.  Well, I guess luck has nothing to do with it!  ::) ;D
