Minimum system for AE6.5?
Hi, guys. What’s the minimum Mac you’d recommend to run AE6.5? I’ve been researching this for a while now, and thought I’d settled on one, but then was persuaded against it. I posted this question on the Final Cut forum as well, since these are the two primary applications I’d like to use. I’m sorry for “double-posting” like this, but I’m quite anxious and unfortunately budget-conscious.
Thanks!

Are you sure you’re using AE6.5?
Any G3 or G4 you can find that has a decent amount of RAM. You don’t need a terrific graphics card because AE6.5 is all CPU-based (OpenGL is still a lame joke). You’ll need to add drives.
A good Macintosh to run AE6.5 on OS10.1 to 10.4 should be $300-600, dirt cheap, buy two.bogiesan
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Hmmm, now I’m confused. I was originally thinking about using a Mini Mac, but a couple of gents on the Cow steered me away from it because the video output wasn’t so great.
I’ve got a super-sweet 24″ HD monitor at home ready to go…I just need a computer to hook up to it! How backward is that??? Ha! I’ve already got an old G4 at home, and I just ordered 2GB of RAM for it. I guess I’ll see how that goes. Maybe it’ll work. I only want it for practice.
Thanks,
