How can I run a Hardware/performance test on my Mac pro 2008(early).
2X3 GHz Quad-Core Xeon.
I am getting very sluggish performance from Motion and Avid programs.
Honestly I saw very little performance increase compared to my old Quad PPC.
I installed 16 gigs RAM from OWC.
ATI Radeon HD 4870 and a eSATA video RAID.
By all accounts this machine should be cooking- but it doesn't.
I ran DW on the Boot drive- but I still have issues.

I have read so much praise for the 2008's as great machines- so I just don't understand why I get so many hang ups.
