Answer 1

Apologies, I said:
Are your drives all 7200rpm and have you (or your pc builder) tweaked  any settings for the grapics card to do its cuda stuff (e.g. force  recognition of non-compatible drive).
I should have said:
Are your drives all 7200rpm and have you (or your pc builder) tweaked  any settings for the grapics card to do its cuda stuff (e.g. force  recognition of non-compatible graphics card).
If CUDA processing is enabled and you have a CUDA recognised effect applied, (e.g. 'levels') then a yellow rendered bar will appear.
There are only a small number of recognised/tested graphics cards, but it seems the done thing is to 'fix' other high spec nvidia cards, via a small edit, which is documented on several youtube videoes.
If you had the CUDA option applied, you could switch the 'software only' rendering option, but as problem is on CS3 too, that now seems accademic.
(I didn't realise pre CS5 version would sit on 64bit system. Thats's handy so I can put up my CS2 in win7 pro 64 bit, for legacy projects).
I'm no expert on RAID systems, but have read of them (or their particular configuraion) causing problems with NLE's, so if you can, it's worth copying a sample source file to internal 'regular' drive, disconnect raid (if safe to do so), check settings for temp files point to same as project etc and are all set to internal drives with free space and try again. It may not be RAID, but without testing, it can't be ruled out.
Perhaps take test clip, drag to time line, do not play it, but add an effect to it - say 'Brightness & contrast' with extreme settings so it's obviosly different to source, then export it as avi, without playing it or scrubbing cursor.
This export, unlike 'play' will mean that data does not have to be read through in realtime.
If it works, it implies it's happy with codec, how to decompress it for editing/exporting and implies it's an issue in coping with processing data in real time.
Please confirm drives are all >=7200rpm.
