Drive: Apple Mac Pro, Part 1
By Jan Ozer
 I have in my hands an Intel
Nehalem-based Apple Mac Pro, specifically a 2.93GHz dual-processor,
quad-core unit running Mac OS 10.5.7 with 12GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon
HD 4870 driving a beautiful Apple LED Cinema Display. In this month’s
first installment, I’ll compare performance of this computer with two
older Macs running a variety of programs. Next issue, I’ll open up the
case and delve into options such as a RAID hard-disk controller,
multiple graphics boards, and different RAM configurations, assuming
that I can convince someone to send me 24GB of RAM in 4GB dual in-line
memory modules (DIMMS). more>>

do You Shoot 8ft., 800lb. Grizzly Bears for National Geographic Channel?

production whose parameters were largely determined by the behavior and
whims of the grizzly bears of Yellowstone National Park, Grizzly Creek
Films (Bozeman, Mont.) chose Panasonic P2 HD camcorders to shoot an
upcoming 1-hour special for the National Geographic Channel (NGC). The
AJ-HPX3000 native 1080p camcorder, AG-HPX500 2/3in. shoulder-mount, and
handheld AG-HVX200 were used to shoot the special. more>>
