[QUOTE="JGO, post: 20399"] I just got my Mac litterally on Monday, I do have a little insight from swithcing from a PC, and even doing minor video editing. I have a lower end G4 733 with 896 MB RAM. My PC is a Pentium 4 2.26 with 512 MB or RAM. Both have firewire, and I have a firewire camcorder. On the PC I would use either Windows Movie Maker, or Pinacle Studio 7 to capture vide. On the Mac I used iMovie. What is interesting is that the Mac has a much easier time capturing the video and manipulating it. It does this with notable ease in relation to the PC, even though the PC has a much faster (mghz) processor, and a video card with litterally four times as much RAM (don't know if that matters but thought I would throw it in there.) So my point is ... trying to judge a Mac on performace when coming from a PC is not an apples to apples comparison (pardon the pun) ;) I guess the point I am getting at is that the G5's would most certainly do the job ... however you may be able to save a consideralbe ammount of money and go with a lower end G5, or perhaps a G4.
