i current own a 12" powerbook. 1.5ghz, 1.25gb ram.
i video edit and use final cut studio, photoshop, after effects quite frequently. i want to get a new system (intel).
i dont want to make an expensive purchase right now on an intel because im worried about the updates that will be released within the next few months.
im debating whether or not getting the 17" imac with 2gb ram as a transitional computer. i plan to get the universal version of FCStudio as well. i dont care about the non-universal photoshop and after effects.
would it be a wise choice to get the 17" intel imac for video editing with final cut studio for a year? then making a "pro" intel purchase in early 2007?
im assuming final cut studio would run MUCH better on the 17" imac than my 12" powerbook.
one other question... do you think 128mb vram on the 17" intel imac would run motion smoothly?
