[QUOTE="baker, post: 32400"] Hello, I'm new to these forums but not to Macs. However, I haven't read anything new about Macs so I'm not too familiar with how their speed compares to a PC's anymore. I've had a PC for about 2 1/2 years now and I despise it so I'm returning to Apple. I was on their site customizing a PowerMac G5 and I wanted it to be able to handle any kind of video editing without any glitches. I had such things as a 1.6GHz G5 processor, 160GB Hard Drive, 1GB of RAM and an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro. Will all of those components be sufficient enough to run well if I were to capture and edit videos on this computer. Right now I'm stuck with a Hi-8 camcorder but I will borrow my school's DV camera's when I want to edit at home, I'll probably use those until I can afford the Canon XL-1S that I want. I appreciate you're help with this, thank you! :) [/QUOTE]
