    Thanks for taking the time to reply but I”m not tech savvy I guess and you lost me there sorry…. CPU GPU SATA PCies….

    I edit professionally promos at work and I do side jobs from home: FCP 7, AE, AVID, one day PProCC I’m sure.
    My side jobs are not consistent enough to pay for a $2000 computer.
    This is why I am exploring computers in the $1400 range.

    to close the thread and in case someone had the same dilemma as I did:

    I went for a used 2008 macpro. 256Gb SSD drive, 1Tb 7200rpm and 3Tb 5400.
    Dual vid card.

    SOld my 2009 mbp for $450
    $600
    $150 investment

    I LOVE it!!!!
