Is It Possible To Run Final Cut Pro HD on a Macbook?

I heard there might be problems about a AGP graphics card. wtf?

How do I get around this?

i have a stacked mackbook pro and use fcp with hi def and it worked good (bit slower than my mac pro) except i think my fans got a bit lazzy and i melted something in my lap top.

luckily it is under a warenty that covers any thing.

so i would recomend a fan controling app like smcFanControl found there -> http://81.169.182.62/~eidac/software/page5/page5.html and a lot of ram + rom (hd take space like mad)

I meant on a macbook, not pro. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Yes, it is but I couldn't get it to work with 512mb of RAM jumped to 1gb and all was good. Of course I dont have it anymore dont remember what it was like using it for actual editing.

edit: AGP? in a laptop? Huh? Maybe you meant integrated but There isn't such a thing as AGP in laptops. FCP is Processor intensive not GPU. Motion on the other hand.

Apparently, MacBooks can run Final Cut Pro HD; at least according to this article: http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=43717
