RE: XP / Geovision / Intel-Mac

["Ward, David" <DAvid.Ward@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree, there'd be a performance hit and possibly some issues with
hardware
compatability (The only Intel Macs available at the moment don't have PCI
slots)
The big difference here is that this isn't emulation (like Virtual PC),
both
systems are running native code on a seperate processor,  this only works
with the dual core versions of the Intel Macs.

But the overhead for this kind of system is normally HUGE. I wouldn't think
performance of two very CPU intensive applications like Geovision and an
edit app would be particularly good - unless you had a quad 10GHz CPU! ;)
If
you've ever tried running the Microsoft virtual PC and a hefty app (even on
a fast machine), you'd know what I mean!

I run a video production company and we run several PC based edit machines
-
it's one of the most demanding applications out there. Even basic edit
progs
require a fair bit of grunt with the amount of data DV involves.

That would be one way. I didn't think virtualization support was coming
until Mac OS X 10.5/Vista...
