edius 4.6 and storm 2 hd editing

[foundy]

i am a novice user with edius but have spent many years working and getting very frustrated with prem 6.5 but have just bought edius 4.6 and would like to use my storm 2 with it for hd editing
i know that i can't capture hd with the card but if i capture via firewire on the graphic card or an independant one can i still edit in hd with the storm card monitor output

also if i am to build a better system to utilise the storm 2 and edius 4.6 can anyone make suggestions on mother board, cpu's, graphic card, etc that would be compatible with the above and for future upgrade to canopus nx

To get RT monitor out for HD, you will need the NX or SP.

There are many recent posts on system configs. If you check do a serch of gdame and look at his posts, he has a setup that balances cost and perfermance.
