I know you guys haven't posted a review of AE CS4 yet, but could you tell me if it has GPU acceleration for video rendering? I was always disappointed I could never get realtime playback without a RAM preview, even with simple effects. I've heard it's something Aperture is good at, but I can't afford a Mac at the moment!
Thanks for the incisive reviews on these plugins.

AE CS4 does have GPU acceleration for video rendering. This works through Open GL for previews, and can be used to make output rendering faster too. NVIDIA has even created a graphics card aimed at this, the Quadro CX. However, this will not make complex effects play back in real time. After Effects is just too compute intensive even for the very latest GPUs.
