[QUOTE="dubs, post: 298659, member: 24657"] A friend sent me this reply and I wanted to share it with you all: What's important more than power is having adequate RAM and big fast disks. That refurb is a bit steep for me. You should factor in adding the cost of more RAM disk space and software, it will be killer. While PowerPC is very fast. Core 2 Duo laptop at 2.16GHz I found is as fast as my Dual 2 GHz G5. But my G5 is 3+ years old and is a desktop. The power of laptops have cought up to the desktops, I would look in that direction, and use external FW800 drives for your movies. I've used an external drive for my HD movie done it iMovieHD, it works just fine.
