pat: ah, i found that out the hard way with my G4. it took a long long time to create a DVD when I was making a special 50th anniversary DVD for my parents. i confess that i just ended up showing it to them directly from iMovie… later I made the DVD for them. :o)

My G5 dual 2GHz still works OK, but when I crunch videos the more power the better! Back on my G4 it could take over 24 hours to process a 2 hour video, now it takes only 2-3 hours, but the new Quads should be even faster… All it takes is $$

pat: i remember drooling over the G5s and you got one of those?
ah yes, i remember you showed us a pic on your blog. maybe one could get a used/refurbished G5 for a good price too. i’m sort of old school that way. ;o)

It does look pretty slick though! I do use a notebook for my 9-5 job, but it is an old IBM Thinkpad, very slow and clunky. At home however I’d love one of the new Mac Pro models, but they start at $2,799 but it has 2 quad core 2.8GHz processors, I drool as I read the specs. I heard someone else priced out every option and it came to be over $22,000!!! I will have to live with my old G5……..
