    It’s slower but usable – get an external FW drive don’t use the internal. Having said that I’m currently editing a friends wedding video in HDV from the system drive in my G5 iMac and it works – just very slowly! I’m even getting some RT effects.

    Consider a used G5 Powermac instead, much faster and room for expansion.
