    yeah to a degree, I use two g4 blue dual 500 mhz with only like two gig of ram, for most of my AVID offline and online editing. AVID is hardware based so I guess it's a little different due to the fact FCP is geared around software, but I'm sure you can rock some stuff on it, certainly not any uncompresses 4.2.2 editing I'd think you would be reduced to offline DV only no more than this.
    As for render times and real time video processing I'd think you would have only one real time layer available even if you enable unlimited RT and had dynamic playback frame rate and video quality switched.

    In conclusion I'd say that you could do DV editing and nothing more.
