Kenneth,
Premiere does not work under Windows NT (and the PVR is intended for NT
– Win 3.1 support is a bit squirrelly). Speed Razor under NT would be a
reasonable way to go (you've been told about the pricing though). Targa 2000
with Razor Pro is fine under Win 3.1 (T2000 drivers for NT still in progress).
Throughput on the T2000 suffers from the Windows method of copying to memory,
THEN to disk. This will not occur in Win NT. PVR & PAR avoid transfers across
the bus, since the drives connect directly. Of course, the T2000 provides a
high-res Windows 24-bit display, and the PAR & PVR have none.
