Re: [Avid-L2] Is the Z8 G4 a solid/stable performer?

Just changed from a Z820 to a z8.  It's a little hard for me to make a
direct comparison since the workstation swap was accompanied by a change
from Nitris DX to Artist DNxIQ and a big jump in MC versions.  I've
found nothing to hate about the Z8.  It's fast and I think it's a little
quieter than the Z820.  Might take a while to get used to the way it
looks but the same could be said about me. --J.B.
