  My G5 is a 2x2GHZ with 4GB RAM and a Radeon with 256Mb. FC 6.02 runs fine.
  Only some GPU based effects asks me for more video card when working in HD.

  Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
  G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
  PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
  JVC DTV-17″
  SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
  ..and always a big mess on top of the table.
