A P7 SR1 created scene I'm working on will not render past halfway before it goes bye bye to the desk top. Loaded the scene into P6.... no problem. This sucks.
This is a very solid plateform that easily handles Sony Vegas video rendering, AutoCad, Protools DAW, with never a crash and certainly never a disappearing act.
P4, XP32, Intel HT, Asus, ATI, old school and very stable....**EXCEPT FOR P7 SR1
**Tempted to try 64 bit WIN XP.... going cheap at your local computer store while you can still get it....
