If Jim is right about the 865 chipset and Mojo being incompatible it looks like the 8790 is the wrong notebook for the field recordings I'm trying to do and I'll have to look for something else. I had heard about some firewire...

Preference? No, I'm just starting out. The company I work for is in the process of buying an Avid-approved HP8000 workstation with Express Pro/Mojo, but I was going to build a personal Sager 8790 just like yours (but with a larger...

G-man- I think you're on the right track with Adobe, especially if you've got $800 for the Professional Video Collection which includes Premiere Pro, After Effects Pro, Audition, Encore, and even Photoshop CS. Keep in mind that...

G-Man- I assume you've been to http://www.avid.com/cgi/forumscgi/fo...=45&LastLogin= and have read what the users of Express Pro have to say - some aren't too complimentary, but then again, you don't hear as often from users who...
