Thanks for replying Eric. My big problem with this is the minimum requirements for vue4/mover4 were a mere 300mhz G3! Other than adding the features in pro (that aren't already in mover4 why is there a sudden jump to a top of the line 1.25ghz G4 as the minimum? Apple and Intel hardware don't compare clock for clock due to RISC vs. CISC architecture and I question cinebench as a cross-platform test. Regardless of this what would suddenly make them ask for a machine that it 3x faster than the old minimum - some of mover4s stuff is what comes with Vue4 pro (vibration, spin, hypervue and rendercows). And as far as I have read the raytracer and overall renderer are more efficient than the one in old Vue4 - so this seems to be a huge jump to me. Now do you see what I am saying? What if the PC minimum was all of a sudden a 3ghz P4? that is the kind of jump we just made for requirements on the Mac. Scott
