Think on this VERY SERIOUSLY. Make obsolutely sure you have compatible hardware if you are going to attempt to install a Matrox RT.X100. Also, consider carefully what it is you want to achieve from it.

The RT.X100 is a great piece of kit but is starting to show it's age. i.e. it is purely SD only. If you are currently (or soon to be thinking about) editing HDV then the Matrox card will not help you in the slightest.

If you're at all considering HDV then spend less money of Cineform Aspect HD and get realtime editing for HDV from a s/w only plugin.

So Luke, let me know what you hope to gain by the purchase and I may be able to advise you further.
