I use Final Cut Pro 2.o

I would love to speed up rendering or eliminate a portion of it...

I've looked into the Matrox card but is there anything else... and if so at what price?

Options?

Check out the RT-Max from promax. http://www.promax.com.
500 dollars more then the Matrox, but it can also do realtime color correction.

The matrox card also has to do a final render-to-tape. That means that while you can work in real-time while editing all effects will have to be rendered at the final output stage. And also be aware that these cards are only for DV25 use i(e mini DV) and only with the codec supplied by the card manufacturer.
