[QUOTE="Daddy Elmis, post: 1127637, member: 16533"] If I had paying customers depending on me for video product, I'd probably invest in the Mac Pro. It's a professional piece of hardware, and I agree with The8thark that it's probably overkill for most users who buy their own (as opposed to company purchases for work). If its a serious (or not so serious) hobby, the iMac will do just fine. I run FCE 4 on a 2009 iMac with zero problems. I use a FW outboard drive and have had no issues. We can do anything we need to do as amateur filmmakers (including winning some prizes for film). As an aside, I'm also running Pro Tools LE 8.0.4 on an even older 2006 iMac (the white one, 2MHz, 2g ram) with a Digi 003 interface -- Pro Tools is notoriously finicky about hardware and performance -- and it runs fine.
