Needing a new system... at DVinfo.net

So the never ending question of MAC or PC comes up.

Currently I am trying to edit HDV on a PC with a 318MHz and 512mb RAM.
this is really not working.

Looking at Final Cut Studio 2 I am really tempted to go for Apple. I have used Premiere and Vegas, and both are decent in my eyes, but with Studio 2 I can have everything I need in one pretty much.

Comments?

Also I am wondering whether the new LED Macbook Pro's can handle Final Cut Studio 2? I have heard that 17'' last year model could handle everything but the rest couldnt. I am thinking with the bumped up processor they should all be able to handle it (including color)?

Help would be nice!
