Hi thank you for your response. I have another question. If I am buying a the 8 Core with Two 2.26 Ghz will FCP be able to use the total: 4.52 of Ghz my computer will contain? I mean, from what I am reading FCP only uses 1 core? What does that mean? Does that mean it is only able to use 2.26 Ghz? Sorry I know these are inexperienced questions. -Nick
