(I didn't know you could buy an 800MHz P-4...;-)

My experience lately is that running older software (Premiere

5.1 instead of P-6) on a good 800MHz P-3 computer,

using a fast codec (Canopus) is about as fast as running

newer software and MS codec on a 2+GHz P-4 computer.

So, I rebuilt the new computer (and reconstructed the old

one, as a spare) with the Raptor card and P-5.1, and even

though I traded out the 2.66GHz CPU and MB with faster

bus and RAM (the MB SIS chipset was incompatible with

the Raptor) for a 2.2GHz and guts, the render speed is now

more than doubled compared with the other computer

versions (it's about 1:1 now vs. 2-2.5:1...). BTW, Premiere

at least doesn't use dual CPUs very efficiently...
