No, not yet. I have to wait 'till the piggy bank is full again having just bought FCP Studio 2!

Geoff

In that case, you will need it as far as I can see, so start saving n keep us informed!

Edius flying in my MacPro with no Windows related problems evident so far. The only drawback is monitoring HD.

Geoff

Hey Geoff. Have you had a look at the Matrox MXO? Just wondering if it can be used?

Anybody?

I can't see why it wouldn't. My Mac Pro 2.66 Dual Core is the best Windows box I've ever had. Edius runs just great.

Just let one pass :15" 2.16Ghz 1GB ATI 256 160h/d at $2711 delivered.
Watching 17's around 3.6K - 4K. Still looking.............

But interesting what you say. Now to port Edius n FCS 2 out as well?
Do tell!

Anyone ever done a test to see if it works with Bootcamp and Edius?

It is much cheaper to go with a Mac Pro (3.0Ghz Quads) than to build my own.

NX Express + Mac Pro 8 Core

When you run boot camp it makes a driver disk that installs Windows drivers for all the Mac hardware. Although just when I think the people in the Mac store are'nt total jerks I get proven wrong. I went in tonight to buy the FCS 2 upgrade and I happen to ask when you upgrade to wireless N if the windows drivers are there too (like in bootcamp) and all I got from the "Genius bar" was attitude. A simple "I dont know"would have sufficed.

You don't have any yellow exclamation marks in device manager when you run XP through bootcamp? Since Apple does not use BIOSes, I thought some hardware would not be fully found.

Maybe you can ship me your Mac Pro and I can put in an NX and see :P

It should worik, the only reason id be concerned is the incompatability between Macdrive and Edius. you would have to edit and save your projects on a Windows partition. But if you want to buy all the hardware and ship it to me id be HAPPY to test it out for you:)
