On topic of this message and the original video, are there any =
thunderbolt chassis available out there right now anyways? I know some =
companies were talking about them, they even wanted close to a grand for =
a single slot half length thing. But they were not shipping at all.

And does much of this matter with cs6 using the AMD cards in MBP and =
iMac's?

Just asking, because i would love to be able to have real time again.
