Hi folks, I am considering an upgrade to one of the current iMacs. I was wondering if you could tell me if I'm likely to see a significant performance improvement for my specific task.
I am working on an amateur video project using Final Cut Pro X and it is becoming frustratingly slow, especially as my video library increases. I currently run the following system:
MacBook Pro 2.4GHx Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
I am considering one of the new iMacs and am not sure as to what my best option would be. Do I need the i7 over the i5? The 27 inch for the faster processor? I'm pretty sure I'll go with 8GB RAM.
I'm not a professional by any means, so won't be stretching for the Mac Pro!
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
