Hi, new here and looking for some answers as I am switching from Windows to OS X extremely soon.
I am going to be upgrading my editing set-up soon and I have been keeping my eye on the iMacs. The Mac Pro is simply out of my price range at this point. I guess my main concern would be editing 1080p video. I will be acquiring a HVX-200 camera and am just not sure if the iMac can handle the resolution. My planned specs would be 24 inch LCD Screen, 2GB RAM, 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB SDRAM. This would all be edited on FCP. I usually only edit DV which is much less processor hungry so I am not sure of the requirements needed to process 1080p. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also prefer if the question be answered by people with similar hardware specs. Thanks!
