Phil, >> PVR or PAR? << PVR. Why get old technology if you are buying all new equipment? >> Which Pentium << a dual 120 or dual 133 if you can find one. >> Adaptec 3940? << What's that? I have a few 2940W's which work fine. >> Which drives and how many of them? << get A/V drives for both the PVR and system disks. Seagate or Micropolis 4gb models. Number needed depends on your project sizes. You could always start with one of each and see. Prices going down make this stategy a reasonable one. >> RAID? << probably not necessary unless you have some special application or network needs. If you're doing film work it can be a good idea. >> NT or 95 or both? << ROFL! NT and dos. >> I already have Premiere 4.0. Is it gonna work with the PVR or PAR? << you'll need 4.0a to work with the PVR and they do work together according to the docs. If you have high-powered needs you might consider Speed Razor Mach III by in:sync which runs under NT. They have Razor Pro for regular Windows. >> Currently have VO5800 and an AG7750. Need TC Card for the AG7750 What do I need to connect the AG to the PAR and which software to control it? << no special software or hardware required. Just a couple of s-video cables for capture and output. There is GPI trigger capability which requires an RCA cable, I think, but I don't use it. Martin
