Dell 690 & Media Composer v3.0 - Voila

Reply Contact

For those of you on the 690 and wondering about the change from XPress Pro, I'm here to say it works great. My specs:

Processor: Single Intel Xeon 3.2GHz dual core processor. *important - i do not have the newer generation of dual core (5160). Mine is the 5060 dual core processor...and I only have one.

Mojo: Analog

Sound: onboard sound

Video: nVidia QuadroFX 3500

RAM: 4GB

OS: Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 3

Storage: Integrated RAID controller. One 250GB OS drive and two 500GB data drives striped. Firewire external drive as well.

Installation method: Completely reinstalled Windows and installed MC clean. Not due to problems - just to avoid them.

Result: have been working in two projects over the weekend. One 23.976 film based and the other 23.976 DVX-100 based. Also imported 1:1 SD from After FX....no problems. Thanks Avid!
