    ...some consumer level video editing program.

    Well then it's an educational article because FCP is a pro level video editor.
    You learn something new on /. every day. You're welcome.

    They have already distrobuted the box sets to local compusa stores. Talk to any manager and they will sell it to you early. Just mention you want to buy the service contract for it.

    We use a Dual 450 in a pro video production environment - be thankful you have such a powerful machine!

    I'm amazed every time I see it just how well it copes with DV streams. I think FCP3 decides just what it can do in real time based on the processors available to it, so a dual 1 gig could probably handle more real time stuff.

    Renders don't take all that long, depending on what you're doing. It puts our £50,000 Media 100 system to shame in several areas (but is lacking in others - FCP4 seems to address those).

    Indeed! Our dual 450 is a little workhorse. We only just retired our 9600/300 from pro video work (it used to house the Media 100 hardware card). We've had to replace her with a G4, but we still use her as a file server.

    Macs have a working life that exceeds most PCs, although saying that I'm still using an old Pentium 200 with FreeBSD as an ftp server.
