Just wanted to publicly thank Jack, Lloyd and Bob for guiding me on getting my new setup running especially with SSD drives since this is the new technology out and working together i think i have a pretty respectable desktop replacement for myself. I get caught a lot on the road doing heavy processing sometimes and staying up half the night for a show the next morning was wearing thin on me saving a hour or two means a lot at 4 or 5 day all day events. Basically this is a new MBP 15 inch 2.93 processor and at the moment 6gb of ram. Waiting on OWC with new MBP with regards to the use of 8gbs . It can be done but does it work is the question. Also it has 2 Intel XM-25 80gbs drives running in Raid 0 configuration. So far against my old desktop I am very close to it's performance but going this route is not very cost effective if sitting at your desktop all the time. If your a road warrior than obviously the laptop is more at play but it will cost you too. This was not cheap to do and still has it's limitations and if your lifting very large files all the time than this option may not be the best when working with over 500mg files. Although running Lloyds CS4 speed test on a 722 mg files i actually matched my desktop at 56 seconds to do a long drawn out action he created.
Anyway thanks guys and I DO appreciate all the guidance.
