[QUOTE="johnnyluu, post: 79035, member: 1314"] If you can, save up an extra 200 and get an imac G5 with the education discount. The frontside bus is considderably faster and overall performance would be dramatically better: 17-inch widescreen LCD 1.6GHz PowerPC G5 512K L2 cache 533MHz frontside bus 256MB DDR400 SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 64MB DDR video memory 80GB Serial ATA hard drive Slot-load Combo Drive $1,199.00 If your budget can stretch to it, get a G5 Powermac. In the long run it would be a better investment as you can upgrade it. 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 600MHz frontside bus 512K L2 cache 256MB DDR400 SDRAM Expandable to 4GB SDRAM 80GB Serial ATA 8x SuperDrive Three PCI Slots NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 64MB DDR video memory 56K internal modem but...$1,349.00 If you're serious about getting into editing, hold off for a little while and save up the extra cash. If you're willing to invest $1000 you don't wan't to invest it on technology that's on it's way out. The G5 range is the best direction to head in if you're going to be doing a lot of editing now and in the future. [/QUOTE]
