At home I'm running an Alienware 3.5 Ghz machine with WinXP and I have
restarted it exactly 4 times (other than after new software loads) in the
last 12 months. So stability is not an issue and it is MANY times faster
than anything Apple makes today and it was a year old last December.

How long does it take this wicked fast machine to process/encode
one hour of video for burning on a DVD? For your claim of "many
times faster", it would have to complete the job in less than 10 minutes.
This I would love to see.

I haven't burned any DVDs but when I get a chance I will. I'm not sure but I
think the dual NVIDIA cards may offload some of the video processing so it
might not be a fair comparison.

Well, AFAIK the video cards don't have anything to do with the
encoding/processing of converting DV into a video DVD.
