I hate to break it to you but whoever is trying to sell you that computer is full of it. That computer is imaginary. A computer cannot have both a G5 processor and a Intel processor. They are completely different. Its ether a G5 Power PC or a Intel Mac Pro.
If it is a G5 then in my opinion I would NOT invest in it. You would be limiting yourself and will not be able to run current versions of FCP or Mac OS.

Apple have never made such a machine.
G5’s have PPC processors.

March 6, 2011 at 11:22 pmHey there, just in case you mistyped (the whole G5/Intel thing) – FCP 6 works with Intel Macs. I run it on an older Intel Mac here as well as on a G4. Basically running FCS2. If you are planning on getting a new MacBook Pro, consider getting FCS3 instead.
