[QUOTE="Beta1, post: 650547, member: 34210"] I use it for very similar things, I even do a little video editing and encoding on top of occasional Photoshop work as well and I never sit at my PowerMac and wish I was sitting in-front of an intel machine. Although I don't know how a machine like mine would handle alot of hardcore FCP use, using it occasionally like me, it works great. Also, like I mentioned before, PowerMacs come alot faster than mine. I know people that use Final Cut regularly as their job that are running Dual Processor G5's and love it. Processor wise, its the slowest machine. But as far as I go, its fast enough. But more importantly for me, its very very cost effective if you have patience and really look for a good deal. I got the machine I have in my signature (w/o the TB of disk space) for like 750 shipped or something. And that was months ago. [/QUOTE]
