shouldnt you ask before you buy, or are you just showing off?

come on, it's a computer, it'll run as good as you'll use it no more no less, but it will never be fast enough for your liking and will always crash when you least expect it.

I have dual 2.5 ghz with 6 gigs of ram, I used it for making an animation to be put up in cinemas 2048 by 1152 I think and it couldn't handle half of my animation,It wouldn't play anything real time. I almost threw it out of the window, however it does do final cut pro HD 5 pretty much brilliantly, just don't do any large canvas motion projects.

They say the new Mactel machine running 3.6GHz Pentium 4 and OS X blows the Dual 2 GHz PowerPC outta the water.

what kind of video are you editing? if you bought this for dv, then i'd jump in line to call showoff cuz anything better than my old G4 400 can edit dv. but hey, i'm assuming you want the real dirt. so...
it depends on what you're wanting to cut and what kinda storage you have. to edit one stream of uncompressed standard def video you'll need at least a SATA drive. anything above that you'll need a RAID. if you want more real time performance you'll need a RAID. if you want HD, DVCHD Pro, HDV, or any other flavor of HD you'll need a RAID. then of course you'll need a capture card to digitize all this. Blackmagic Design works well for us.
Final Cut and a G5 are the bare minimums to get started. FCP itself is super dope, scaleable (web video to uncompressed HD) and has made the barrier to entry reaaally low.
at the end of the day, its the wizard, not the wand. these are all just tools. you could pay about 80k for an avid and do the same thing. or edit in imovie. but i bet people won't call you a showoff either way.
finally if you're looking for the nitty gritty dirt, try posting this question at creative cow, 2-pop, or the apple discussion boards.

if it's anything like a 2.5, it's not a computer that's meant for a hot climate. mine spits out soo much heat, it makes it very hard to tolerate at certain times.

(Jul 24 05, 10:13)uhm, yes they will.
if Apple is serious about Intel you know it better be any other option.
Mind you, this Intel chip will process OS-X, not Winblows in a Mac environment.
i am pretty curious to see the new models..
when will they come? any mac heads with inside news?

on a sidenote: tomorrow Apple will announce new consumer-oriented products. Hopefully they have some new info on future mactel products like the powerbook etc.
