Currently we're not 64-bit, so having 64-bit is not going to help you in the next year or so . . . we have no time-table for going 64-bit.
So, for the next year, Core duo laptops with good PCI-express-based 1000Base-T chipsets (ideally Intel's 82573 chipset) will be perfect for everything you will need for this camera. |

No substantial difference for our application . . . maybe with the new features of After Effects there might be.

Dell Inspiron XPS M2010
Does the unit have Intel GigE...no mention of Wired Ethernet?

Toshiba Tablet M400
This Toshiba Tablet PC may be an excellent model to accompany a SILICON Mini.
It has several important features: Core Duo up to 2.16GHz Dual Channel DDR2 667MHz Intel 10/100/1000 GigE Wireless Networking PCMCIA (put in a 32GB Flash Drive) Tablet Touchscreen 4.5 lbs http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/cont...400-ST9113.pdf http://www.tabletpcreviewspot.com/de...econfigured%29 |

Merci Jason et Ari (that tablet PC bet can be useful and I hope a tablet PC as certified system from you) |
Our application means the Silicon Imaging capture and camera control application. A decent DX9-class graphics card will do the job since the program doesn't require THAT much from the graphics . . .
. . . Other applications like After Effects will take all the muscle you can give it. |

Very true but my point was that some people (not all) out there will use an expensive laptop for very power hungry apps in edit situations (ie AE) and expect it to be a little future proofed and for the money that is very reasonable to expect, some really are not aware that the core duo's right now are not 64bit CPU's, I don't tbh even include a 32bit vista as worthwhile seeing as Xp is so reliable now (although the Beta version runs very nicley if you want a free OS for a year), you may as well stick with XP so I should have been more precise on 64bit vs 32bit rather than stating just Vista, my fault :-), I mean maybe others out there have more money to spend on Laptops than I do so it's not a concern at all to them and I was wrong to mention it but I'd rather wait and buy when I know the laptop will last me as long as possible and if 1 person felt the same then it's worth warning them about the current core duo's. I do feel there are 2 seperate discussions here now about editing and SI capture, I bow down to the SI guys on capture, it's there stunning camera after all :-) |
I think in August we'll see the Merom systems starting to hit the market, so you'll get 64-bit then.
Remember that we're not certified to run on a 64-bit system right now . . . the gigabit drivers and API we're using for the camera data transfer are specifically made for 32-bit Windows, so if you're running 64-bit Windows, I'm not sure what to expect. |
Dell XPS Notebooks and GigE
The Dell M1710 has Intel GigE and Dual Channel DDR:
http://www.dell.com/content/products...n=specs#tabtop The M2010 does not have the Intel GigE, instead it uses a Broadcom. |

Thanks for the August date Jason, makes it worthwhile hanging on a few months to at least have a chance of future proofing my investment :-)

The GMA950 will not accelerate the OpenGL features of After Effects 7.0 and it will not do the GPU acceleration of the Premiere Pro 2.0 filters like the fast color-corrector, etc.
Thanks, Jason |
