[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1637192, member: 307555"] Yes I know ejecting is a good thing in both OS's. But with Windows, I have never had any issues. That is not true with OS X. I have had a wide variety of issues that resulted it using disk utility to fix the drive, using Windows to fix an extFat drive, and once having to reformat the drive - thank goodness I had nothing to lose on the drive. It has been a hard lesson to learn because it is a very ingrained bad habit. Oh, and I agree with Chas - the more memory the better. My main editor has dual 2.5 Xeon processors and 24GB of memory. It is a Windows 7 machine and she is getting some age but I can turn out mountains of work. She still encodes an hour video in under 12 minutes. And I haven't saved enough yet for the Mac Pro I want. I am an independent contractor so I furnish my own equipment. Lisa [/QUOTE]
