My PC:
Intel Pentium D, Dual 3.0GHz 1GB RAM 160GB Hard drive Nvidea GeForce 8800GTS My MAC: 17" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz 1GB RAM 160GB Hard drive ATI Radeon X1600 The iMac also runs windows xp great. No problems so far ... and I'm not so knowledgable with macs, are the video cards readily upgradable, or are you pretty much stuck with what you ordered? Also, to the person asking what the minimum requirements for video editing is ... if you're shooting standard def, I still use this system for editing and it runs fine: 12" iBook 800MHz 256MB RAM 30GB Hard drive |
