Do not forget when you finish installing Windows to look at your processes and when you find out how many there are you should consider tuning your OS to get real performance from your system with CS5. CS4 and CS5 are both resource hogs.

OK here is a simpler way to find out what you have running. Do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and select your Task Manger and select the Processes Tab. Here is what you will see, except you probably will have more than twice as many processes running. An untuned Win 7 installation can easily have 70 processes or more.. Be sure to have show all processes checked and stretch the window so we can see all of them. Do this after booting up and without running any other software or Adobe software.

Yes, I have sucessfully pushed it to 4.2 GHz but I am not going to run normally at the clock rate.with my $1000 CPU. Since it still is an experimental bench top system I am able to make very quick changes.

When someone tries this successfully on the Fermi cards please post here! As the GTX 285 and the 295 are now obsolete I hate buying even a used card and I will not ever buy another Quadro card.

Please run my Premiere Pro Benchmark PPBM4 (yes I know it was designred for CS4) but since Harm has run it sucessfully on CS5 it will tell us how well you machine/OS is tuned and/or configured.

Of course I would not operate in a normal video editing mode at that speed. The motherboard is my ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer. While it may be an ideal CUDA platform, it is a lousy disk performer. I have a faster (R)AID array than Harm (because a risky eight disk RAID 0), but cannot even come close to his disk intensive AVI encoding score of 1.4 seconds, the best I have seen is about 3.9 seconds. Also if you scan the Results page you will see it is not my setup, all AVI results for this MB are lousy. I cannot verify this but I suspect that the two nVidia N200's that are on this board may be the cause.

Harm, I did have a one module in a set of three go bad and OCZ quickly replaced the whole set. I have had my i7-920 experimental computer running at 4.2 GHz with my 1600 6GB Platinum OCZ with 7-7-7-20 timing.

I have a high end Patriot Torqx M28 drive BUT do not reccommend buying one as there is no Win 7 TRIM support currently, and no way to reset it to its original condition or to clean it up. Some SSD's you can use a utility like wiper.exe, but nothing for this model from Patriot. Since you are on a tight budget you do not want to even consider Areca, I do not think they even have a PCI controller. While the HDtach looks great I found essentially no improvement over the same amount of money spent on good disks--if you have a decent controller and that is where your PCI bus only is going to limit you. Your Green drive is also a handicap, you will not have great performance out of anything green. Does your motherboard have SATA 3Gb/sec (sometimes referred to as 300 MB/s) interfaces available?

I am guessing but looking at HDtach results your burst rate from your SSD indicates a real bottleneck, I am guessing that you have it on the SATA II 150 PCI board. This looks to me like it is a 150 MB/s interface and then it also is on the PCI bus which is another bottleneck. If you had it on a better interface (my Areca) it might look like this: But there is one other problem that I see that is that your SSD is the "V" series which stands for value as opposed to the higher cost high perfomance SSD's. And even my Patriot device (which I do not recommend buying) did not do much for my performance (look at the results on PPBM4) and therefore my opinon that currently SSD's are not practical because they are not cost effective.

MPE is CUDA specific. ATI cards will never take advantage of MPE.

Dennis, this is great news. Are you by any chance also running CS4 on your HP XW9400? If so I would sure like to see the PPBM4 results from this 12-core AMD system. We are severely lacking AMD representation on the benchmarks results page. I am guessing that I may have to start all over with my hardware benchmarking when CS5 is released. Right now it can test CPU and disk system performance, but not GPU, because currently Premiere is almost completely insensitive to GPU performance

I personally would not try to pick out an Areca controller now for a future application. Current boards are relatively old designs and new designs are most likely immanent. They need to upgrade the designs to accommodate PCIe version 2 and SATA 6 Gbits/s to stay up with current technology and the competition.

With PCIe there has been an improvement with most motherboards that are less than a year old now supporting PCIe version 2.0 that doubled the initial rate with some day we will have PCIe version 3 here is some information on transfer speeds: Capacity Per lane: * v1.x: 250 MB/s * v2.0: 500 MB/s * v3.0: 1 GB/s 16 lane slot (x16): * v1.x: 4 GB/s * v2.0: 8 GB/s * v3.0: 16 GB/s The Areca controllers that are out now are only 8 lanes (x8) wide at present so yes the present generation of Areca boards would definitly be bottle-necked at 1 GB/s, but I think also the Intel IOP 341 chip would also be a bottleneck

I mentioned to Harm in a PE that I was very impressed with results of the "Poath Junction" PPBM4 AVI encoding score with just two disk drives. I assumed that they were the newer Seagate 15K.7 drives. I ordered one and here are the HDtach results: The PPBM results are very much like the results I get for two Seagate 7200.12 1 TB disks in RAID 0

Great article on RAID. But I have another suggestion for those with very deep pockets. How about a 1 TB SSD in a 3.5-inch form factor for a mere $3500. It has read rate of up to 260 MBps, write of up to 260MBps and sustained write of up to 230MBps.

I have no idea if this USB to DVI gadget would work but maybe you could order one from them or some vendor on a trial basis. With the included software you apparently can make it the primary display. Check with them first if it is OpenGL 2.0 compatible. There are also other similar devices for interfaces like ExpressCard.

If your XP system is performing satisfactorily there is no need to upgrade. Harm's guidelines are for new system builds. At the current time for CS4 it appears that the new Intel chip is superior to what AMD is offering. Until we have some evidance to the contrary unless you are an AMD employee or own stock in AMD it is not a wise buy.

The HP Touchsmart IQ540 is classed as a "desktop" but it is highly integrated and built with notebook/laptop components. The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD is OpenGL 2.0 compatible. There is no nVidia component in this system and therefore no reason to look for nVidia drivers!

I do not want any form of 'system restore' eating up any space on my drives. To turn off "System Restore" you would go to the "Control Panel/System/System Protection", as I said I have it turned off on all drives execpt the C: drive. There it is a good insurance value.

I have all my drives turned off of System Restore (Shadow Copy) except the C: drive. As you can see from the attached document from Microsoft Vista Help Files Shadow Copy takes up no more that 15% of the disk space. "System Restore doesn't protect FAT32 and other FAT disks because FAT disks don't support the use of shadow copies. Shadow copies contain information about changes to documents and system files. Shadow copies require the NTFS file system. In this version of Windows, System Restore uses shadow copies to create restore points. If you store system files on a FAT disk, you cannot use System Restore to undo changes. How much disk space does System Restore require? To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk that has System Protection turned on. System Restore might use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore will delete older restore points to make room for new ones. System Restore will not run on disks smaller than 1 gigabyte (GB) "

Well here are my results capturing a HDV 52 minute tape into CS4 on Vista 64 Business; Before: After: As you can see on the project disk (SAS RAID 0) drive, the 52 minutes took up the expected 10 GB of space and the C: drive added 1.2 GB. Unfortunnately I do not have access to a AVCHD camera or a large file to do the same thing with it. The three files produced in the Media Cache Files were a .cfa file of 1.14 GB, a .pek file of 4.58 MB and a .mpgindex file of 1.64 MB.

Let me see if my understanding of this is correct. If I capture with default settings in CS4 to my project disk in Vista 64 SP1 and import this to a project, I should see a correspond size increase my C: drive. Is this a correct statement of your sitution?

Well it must have something to do with either your French version of Premiere or Vista as I see no such problem. I have run 100's of benchmark files trying to get some consistency in performance measurements under a wide range of hardware configurations and see no such accumulation problem.I also have a couple of dozen HDV projects with no signs of any accumulating files on the C: drive. My 150 GB Vista 64 C: drive has 100 GB of free space.

I find it extremely hard to believe that Premiere/Vista is writing to a disk and you cannot see the files. I have never heard of anything like that. Did you do anything unusual to your formatting of the disks like changing the block size?
