I used to use a MXC running under NT. thats one thing you didn't mention was
your OS.. but I am assuming its NT..

I think your frame rate may be more of a function of the Targa 1K card rather
than the AVID or your system, which to me sounds adequate for more..

I ran a Targa 200 Pro, and regularly worked at 300 or 350 kb/frame (don't
remember which, but it was broadcast quality..)  I think your 120 is about VHS
quality.
