Dear Jerry,
Thanks for info. So, the main problem might be that I can’t increase the spec indefinitely in order to accomodate power hungry graphics software? But what about the physical design of the machine, will ii not overheat when worked hard? I want to use it for editing, but I would also like to run Motion and the audio software and teach myself how to use them. So it would not be for professional use, but I need it to function as a good platform for learning new software, without having to go on endless courses or embaress myself in front of clients.
I went to an Apple store today to enquire about new intel driven iMac G5 coming out after the weekend and the effect the new processor might have on the running of FCP5. Apparently, in order to tap into the speed increase and full power of the intel processor a new mediatory software will soon be made available – so you will have to buy extra software for each application in order to benefit from intel power on a G5. This all sounds abit expensive for the consumer and the staff at Apple today didn’t seem too on the ball. Do you understand the implications of the new intel processor on running existing software like FCP 5 studio?
Thanks again in advance.
Cheers Kristel
