Built a new PC targeting video editing as I found the video (even @ 720p) with the Canon Rebel Ti was killing my Q6600 based PC. So I build a new PC around a Nvidia GTX 470 because Adobe Premiere CS5 has a new Mercury Playback Engine that uses Nvidia CUDA technolgy. Basically Adobe Premiere CS5 can harness the Nvidia video card for computational matters. Well Adobe does not support the GTX 470 yet, the next round of drivers they should.

But to get around the issue a fellow at Studio1Productions has a very simple configureation tweak that will get many Nvidia video cards working with CS5 while you wait for Nvidia and Adobe to catch up.
