Vegas will not take advantage of any hardware assistance (other than your CPU) so this card would be a waste of money. (i.e., Vegas won’t use it) A more powerful CPU with fast memory is probably your best option for Vegas. I just built a new PC with a P4 3.0Ghz processor and 1GB of Kingston HyperX CAS 2 RAM and I get near real-time rendering of MPEG2 on straight DV (no transitions).
How does your preview look (with transitions) on your new computer compared to your old computer? I have a p4 2.4 ghz. with 512 ram...will
upgrading to 1 ghz ram help me at all?
Thanks,
