[QUOTE="Dan Lester, post: 138924"] Hello I'm in the process of buying my first Mac a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 1.15GHz frontside bus/processor 512K L2 cache/processor 512MB DDR400 SDRAM Expandable to 8GB SDRAM 250GB Serial ATA 16x SuperDrive (double-layer) Three PCI-X Slots ATI Radeon 9600 128MB DDR video memory I'm sure the specs look familiar to everyone here. I've been a PC user all my life and have gotten to the point where I troubleshoot my system/systems as much as actually creating video. OK enough history, My main purpose for this machine is creating video and media content. I would likie some advice on hardware for this machine. I can only speak from the standpoint of the PC world and what I have read about Macs online and magazines. I plan on using Final Cut Pro Studio. Questions: [B]How much ram is really enough for creating video with Final Cut Pro Studio?[/B] I currently use 2 Gig in my PC. Windows XP machines can only use 2 Gig per program. Some of the videos I create are pretty complex and up to 30 minutes long. [B]Is it really possible to add a second internal hard drive for capturing video?[/B] Again,,in the PC world it's better to capture to a hard drive that is separate from your OS/video program.
