Dave, NT is a true 32-bit system. The 16-bit programs we all have now require some juggling by NT to run. When I put Photoshop 3.0.4 on NT it flew. But its a 32-bit program. The 16-bit programs are only a shade faster. I think your limitation on your speed is the video card. I've got ATI Mach 64 boards in our pentium 100s and they are fast. But we've had a LOT of trouble with them running Premiere 4.0. I got Premiere for a great deal and like it but its clumsy for use with the PAR. In that respect Razor is better, but Razor doesn't have the neat filters and special effects that Premiere does. Elastic reality is good but the transitions and fades are not presented as a thumbnail in out version. Premiere shows exactly what you are going to get. So in general I'm staying with Razor until Adobe gets its together. If your thinking about changing video cards I would go to a OpenGL or GLint card directly. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. The preview rendering will be supported under MAX through OpenGL (I think). As an alternative, get another Diamond card like the Viper. I can't recommend the ATI card anymore. The drivers are just too flaky. As to drivers under NT, so far I've had no trouble. Glad you told me about the Turtle Beach drivers. I'm using the Monterrey for output to the VTR and I hadn't installed that yet. Send me more NT wisdom as you come across it. I just started with it this week. Also I've been looking for OpenGL screensavers and routines and can't find any. Bye.
