    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.
