BUT thanks to my NVidia Quadro FX 4800 video card I can render h264 vids that would take hours in a matter of minutes.

Why? Because of the "CUDA" technology that uses the video card's GPU processor to render with Adobe CS6 Premieres Mercury engine.

It not only renders vid a LOT faster, but it does the job a lot better too.

Doesn't matter how much CPU and RAM you have... (just not this -kazymjir)IF you have Adobe Premiere and a CUDA technology NVidia card, you will blow away your current output of production.
Applications that uses CUDA are kickass.

Btw Robbie, you have a great video card. Amateurcanada, you should consider buying one of Quadro FX series video cards.
