For those of you who have got a version of final cut/motion/dvd studio pro working on an intel mac, can you post what the performance is like? Any major problems, bugs?

Would I be able to install FCP via migration assistant or another way? (as im aware it won't install on the new intel macs...)

Cheers

i don't think it works at all, you have to "cross grade" for $50.

That is right, the new universal versions will be out in a few weeks/months and then you will be able to trade in your old cd/dvd's for the new universal dvd's that will work on the intel mac.

True, but apparently you can get it to work if you change some setting from pci to agp, not 100% sure which file, but i'm sure someone will post..
 
Yeah I read that somewhere too but can't find the post... I think they were able to do it for the latest PPC imacs but I wasn't too sure about the intel macs. If anyone has info please post.

Thanx
