  Again, not quite correct. It's the other way around. a windows machine will cost almost $1000 less with roughly or exactly the same hardware. You don't have to buy HP or Boxx, that is the point. You have choices. With Apple you don't. New mac book

  I'm a long time user of Sony Vegas. Been using since V4. Currently have V11 (x64). I've also always built my own PCs with no trouble at all. Well just last week I built a new PC, or rather upgraded my motherboard and processor, for the fourth or

  RE: OT - XP upgrade
  When you say "reinstalled SP3" I presume you mean just the Service Pack. A clean reinstall of Windows from scratch is the best medicine for an old (and not so old) computer. Don't upgrade Windows unless you need some feature in the later version.

  RE: vegas pro 12 coming soon ?
  They usually have reasonable upgrade offers. As I decided to skip a version with Vegas 11 (my old PC didn't have a Cuda enabled GPU), I wouldn't mind seeing the upgrade in the next half year. However, I do feel that Sony should fix the current

  RE: Help - VMS 10 crash with MOV files, works with MP4
  First of all, realize that editing support for AVCHD and its MOV clones, with their incredibly long GOP structures, and complex compression tricks, is a work in progress. Machines, software, and players are slowly catching up with a transport stream

  RE: 6-core Render Speeds: 3930K vs. 980X?
  Over all, the 3930K is a better CPU. I have never used a 990X but all performance tests indicate the 3930K is better. If you invest $1,000 in a 990X, you know your hardware will have reached the end of its line. The mobo will not be good enough to
