[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1198527, member: 38864"] What that message is referring to is the graphics card. The AGP bus provided wider bandwidth than what PCI could do at the time AGP was in use. I just checked the specs on the iMac you have, and it uses PCI Express for the graphics card, which actually superceded AGP when introduced in 2004. A little more checking into the system requirements for Final Cut Pro shows what the problem may be: There's one of two things going on: the version of Final Cut Pro doesn't know how to recognize a PCI Express graphics card (due to it being older than the spec), or your existing card doesn't support Quartz Extreme. What you need to do first is see if your card even supports Quartz Extreme. If it doesn't, then unfortunately you will not be able to use any version of Final Cut Pro. If it does support it, you should simply need a newer version.
