In Reply to: Used High End Processor Recommendation (<$2,000) posted by bernie on August 22, 2002 at 18:46:50:
There are plans for processors to include those capabilities as well once the flamewar between firewire and USB is settled and the standards have been set. lwang is right in saying you must consider a processor with passthrough capability (for now).The problem is this, I believe that it will be out of date in 1 year or less, not 10, because that is when I think they will come out with the new standards*. Front ends are already coming with a port suitable for software upgrades, soooo o o o . When the new processors come out, the units you seek
1. will be cheaper than they are now or
2. will not be the units you seek any more.If you would likely upgrade in a year or so, go ahead. If not, maybe you should have a think about it.
*They are pushing this hard, in a recession everyone wants a new source of income.
