Help me switch.

Okaaaay. Im going to be doing a lot of video editing/multimedia type stuff.. but I do want portability.. and the space saving aspect is nice.. however im not sure about the 2.67ghz g4 vs the 1.8ghz g5..
So I cant decide on weather to get a

1.67Ghz G4
1Gb Ram
128mb video card..

or a
1.8Ghz G5
1Gb Ram
64mb video card


do those systems measure out closely in the way they would run fcphd and motion? or does the g5 kill the g4 in performence with fcp?

oh.. and if someone uses motion and fcphd with either systems.. let me know of your experiences..

Please don't create more than one thread on the topic.

Motion recommends
Recommended system

• Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5
• 2GB of RAM or more
• Mac OS X v10.3.5 or later
• ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card or better

So you are probably better off going for the G5 which can pick up more slack on the video card. The powerbook video card will perform better but the processor will lack a bit compared to the G5

You should specifiy which systems you are looking at (Obviously a powerbook vs. iMac/PM G5)

Ah... good point..
( I wasnt seeing any action on the board I posted this on before )

I was really hoping for some real world experiences with the program.. aka how does it run on a imac g5 vs pb g4...
to think a program requires dual 2ghz g5 to run smoothly sounds rediculous.

anyone?
