The 8 GB of RAM came from Apple

Sorry about that. You are correct, it is a MacPro (I once again show my ignorance). Here are all the specs:

Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz

We also upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2, and it’s running on Tiger. We recieved the Leopard software updates, but we’re also using an AJA KONA 3 card for direct HD-SDI injest, which isn’t yet compatible with Leopard.

The footage is being brought into Final Cut using Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) from a JVC GY-HD250 (again, via HD-SDI direct injest).

I hope that helps.
