I know it's not in the list for MC3, just curious if there are any road blocks to running it?

Any tips would be great! I assume a better vid card would be a good move??

Though not in the Avid qualified list it will most likely run on your machine. If you are not happy with the performance you can always buy and install a better Quadro card.
