Here is my basic question, with the following equipment how should I set it up?
Mac Pro 12 core, 32RAM, Nvidia 4000, ATI HD 5770, 2 high end NEC PA 241W monitors. The monitors have the Spectraview...
I keep reading and now I find this, It is a bit dated but had that changed? This says MAC can not provide 10 BIT COLOR.
Any comments?

limnidytis, and everyone else, Work keeps getting in the way... not enough time for anything else...
Thus far I tried the 4,000 by itself, worked fine. Now I have the 4000 and the 5770 both...

I spoke to Nvidia today and they were unsure about the...
The Mac Pro (desktop) I bought is still under AppleCare for another year. I just ran into a great deal, that I could not pass up. WAY overkill for what I actually need, but the price was great. I...
Thanks to everyone,
I have been out of town and just opened the Mac today, what a beast, it came as advertised, Quadro 4000 for Mac and a 5770.
The previous owner put a note in with it saying:...
Almost forgot, a RAID was recommended to me to have a very large "D" drive instead of C, D, E, F smaller drives. I'd lose track of stuff that way, sure sounds convenient.
I'll have to go to an...
Thanks, but again my ignorance is stopping me from seeing the forest...

2 issues about the Dell U2413, first the price is back to $550, do not know when it will go on sale again. I've got a Mac Pro (desktop) being delivered this week. I need a monitor, hoping for 2 24"...
Pat, I looked and the U2413 for $450 is expired
There are deals on the U2713, higher resolution, but is it the same quality as the 2413?
I'm running right now to the airport
The NEC monitors...
Pat, thanks, I'm reading about the U2413, I found it for $450 also. I have not received the NEC monitors yet, so it would not be very difficult to return them, just postage I guess.
You could...
Sandy, I must be running with the wrong crowd, my friend/mentor convinced me that Dell does not last as long, inferior materials/workmanship. I went with NEC based on their long reputation. I read...
Preston,
Thanks for the info, I just ordered 2 refurbished NEC EA 232 WMI IPS monitors. I do not see on the published specs that it has a LUT or what number it would be.
They also had the P221...

Bodyslam,
I am reading and learning, it was not easy to uncover that Mac Pro does not support Thunderbolt. Found that bit on info on a video card site. For a Mac Pro I'd need to use an Apple...
Help, the choices are infinity squared. I'm going to buy a reconditioned Mac Pro desktop, and am going to need a monitor. I've read this thread and have a couple of questions.
Reconditioned Mac...
Everyone was so helpful with the colorspace question, I came up with another. Reading Scott Kelby's books, he really seems to promote dng.

Peter,
I'm a newbie and just setting up everything. I have Xtol and am using HP5+. I have accumulated different brands and sizes of tubes/drums, I also have a couple of different motorized bases. ...
I thought about it, and decided to buy 2 large ones. I considered buying one of each but the height was shorter on the smaller one.
Great price, and they are tried and proved by the OP. Looking...
