[QUOTE="Zach_C, post: 25205"] Out of the systems you have described I would go for the G5 but do not rule out the dual G4. Locate the specs for the software you will be using if it takes advantahe of dual processors you might want to consider this option. The dual G4 is cheaper on Apple's site than the single G5. Final Cut Pro and Express utilizes dual processors. If the programs you use only support a single processor go with the G5. I bought a dual G4 for music editing and a little (and I mean a little) video editing. In my opinion faster than the G5 1.6. This is because the programs supprt dual processors and not many programs support 64 bit yet (Does anyone know if Apple's pro suite is now 64-bit compatible?). This is just another option though. I would check a local Apple dealer and test both of these out for yourself, some even have Final Cut installed on them for classes and seminars (You will have to ask the salesperson usually though).
