Sir Jeff,

How's that student with the 17 incher (PB, that is)?

All the best,
Elmer 'Pileated Woodpecker' Lang

On his G4, 17" PB he gets two channels of RT playback. He's using a FW400 drive but is going to FW800 soon because he's heard he'll get more RT tracks. His ram is maxed. I don't think he does very elaborate effects or compositing, mostly dissolves.

Jeff,

Just curiously, and understanding you're a busy man, but do you know if that student of yours with the 17" PB has gotten the FW800 and whether he can RT preview more than 2 tracks of video? You could even ask him to try if he hasn't already, it'd be easy for him to do.

Thanks muchissimo,
elmer

PS Anyone else who might know is welcome to reply.
