Photoshop uses it for some filters, and I'm told that video editors like iMovie use it a lot. I'm happy with my OWC G4 450 (which runs at 466), which was a good deal at the price. I bought a combination card early on since I figured I'd max out the three pci slots on my minitower, which I have...video board, combo board and ATA card. Without the combination board, I'd have to forgo either USB or Firewire, neither of which is an option for video work. Hope this helps. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
