That's a cool computer. But I have to wonder, how much real world rendering and encoding speed inrease is that going to translate to in reality as compared to, say, a top of the line Dell Win XP desktop with a single hyperthreaded 2.6 Ghz P4, a Gb+ of RAM and several large external firewire drives for video storage that costs less than half that price? Just to give an idea, my system, roughly as described above, renders a 40 minute video with minimal effects using Adobe Premiere Pro, in just over half-time, around 22 minutes. I'd be curious to hear what app you are running and what kind of speeds you are getting with a monster system like that.
