Ben,
Thanks so much for the response. It’s greatly appreciated and helpful.
The MacBook Pro option is not a new computer – probably just under two years old, no Thunderbolt, and the Mac Pro is around 8 months old.
My head is spinning a bit, but I’ll likely check out the iMac option you mentioned above. …. If you have a moment to answer one last question, in trying to understand how these things work for optimum performance, is my understanding correct that the more RAM one has, the better the performance of FCPX?
The MacBook pro has 8 Gig RAM, but maybe the best option for me is to simply upgrade my two year old iMac to 16 GB RAM and that’s the simplest solution for me?
Thanks again,
Alan
