    It is of course to early to say. Without the software, we DIYers would need to wait.

    That being said, it looks good on paper :)

    Re: Motherboard for MC 3.0 and MojoDX

    Hello,
    I'm looking to upgrade my current MB (X6DAE-G2) TO the new one X7DA3+.
    I'm using this workstation to work with Avid Media composer 3.13 and analog Mojo. Any Idea if it is a good decision to go with dual processor workstation instead of single processor workstation like Asus motherboard model 
    P6T Deluxe. Thanks for any advice I can get.

    Fred

    Well, I'd likely want more than 2 PCIe slots. If you ever decide you needed an additional graphics card or wanted a RAID controller for and external RAID enclosure, you'd be stuck.

    Have you checked out the latest Videoguys DIY project?  Looks like an absolute screamer.  While I7 is not currently supported by Avid, they state on that page:

    "For testing we’ve got DIY7 running our favorite NLE software suites including:

    • Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and the full Adobe CS4 Production Premium are flying
    • Avid Media Composer 3.5 is tremendous"

    Thanks for the feedbacks. I may have to go with the P6T MB. even I already purchased the X7DA3+ since It was a great deal I couldn,t pass. I just have to put it on eBay.
