I am biting the bullet and buying a G5 (switching from PC). I have a limited budget (who doesn't), so question is, how to allocate that last $500-1000?
I will be using it for video and some audio work. Editing with Final Cut 4 and playing with Motion, (and one day Shake).
I am trying to decide between dual 1.8, 2, and 2.5, 1mg ram vs. 2, or 3mg, or high-end video card.
I am open to reliable 3rd party stuff for ram or video cards.
Does anyone know an optimal configuration, bang for buck, to reduce bottlenecks?
(I am posting 2nd thread re: cinema displays, 20" vs. 30" - and 30" requires the the NVIDIA 6800 Ultra - can this be got elsewhere for less?)
