I do not own a mac but I am seriously thinking of buying one. the only problem is, i do not know what to go for. I may be getting a Sony fx1 or a canon xh a1. not sure yet. but i need to get a mac to edit the HD videom from the camcorder. I have been looking around on what I can and can't upgrade myself from a mac system but all I have found yet is that I can add memory after purchase. I will be using this mac system for video editing and possibly photo editing aswell. I am thinking of going with: [LIST] [*]One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon [*]2GB (2x1GB) [*]ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB GDDR3 [*]500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s [*]Two 16x SuperDrives [*]iWork '08 [*]Final Cut Express HD [*]Aperture 1.5 [*]Apple Mighty Mouse [*]Apple Keyboard & Mac OS [*]Apple Cinema Display (20" flat panel) [*]Five USB ports [*]Two FireWire 400 ports [*]Two FireWire 800 ports [/LIST] total £2,350.99 what would I be able to upgrade after that and what won't I be able to? can i buy this [url]http://www.click2qnet.com/Info-100050375.aspx[/url] rather than paying £960 more to get it done by apple?
