I have a 1TB external currently in use for video capture
So the CPU and GC(is this even involved much? lol) and RAM (lets say i stick to 2gb or up it to 4gb)
is sufficient?
i read somewhere that it wont be good because of the GC
or maybe that was for motion, i'm not entirely sure
*
what kind external hdd you using? what interface? USB?
no good
at least firewire 800, best esata

i'm planing for RAID 5 system for my brother production.

he uses final cut studio
his currently machine is Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz (oct 08 model), 2GB ram.

it pretty much depends on the applications which are running, the power settings, etc..

apple claims that the 15" MBP can last up to 7 hours..

New MacBook Pro user here.

Bought it during PC Fair and was so excited about it.

But after my first use, I am so far disappointed.

All because of defect pixel.

After swapping for a new MacBook Pro, my 2nd MacBook Pro also has defect pixel.

How lucky am I?

I don't feel like going back to swap for the 3rd MacBook Pro because "he" gave me a not so happy face look.

Any other solutions to solve this problem?
