i get like 35-40 fps with the 2 years old model of MBP, with the new model u'll get little more because of the better graphic card... I use a lot of loops in the composition and yeah, deck switching is not that smooth, so i try to put as much as i can into deck1 :)

cool thats what i was hoping for and with the newer model it should be quicker... i hope :) thanks for your feedback on it! i dont fancy spending the money on a ssd yet... like everyone else waiting for the price to drop.

when you say its not that smooth do you mean it takes a while to load or the video play back stutters?

Thanks dude you've been really helpful!!! :D

:evil: but its still good resolutions :D also when you upgrade your rig you'll have all your content ready to use and will be laughing :)

Do you think the i7 processor will have much of an impact on the deck switching? this is something i need to look in to!

i think it's more about HDD speed, than processor or graphics, 'cos while switching during the show u have already few stream going + u want to load all the loops in the next deck, and than it's also a bit of a software thing, about how resolume does the whole switching thing.... :idea:
