I need a Mac...

I need a Mac.

I've spent the day editing video on my PC using After Effects, Premiere Pro, etc.  My PC is screeching to a halt.

I just checked out the task manager, and noticed that AE was pulling down 500 MB of memory, Premiere was pulling down 300 MB...

Dual Core G5...

Drool.

PC is not guilty here. It's likely low end video hardware, drivers and codecs you use in it. A while ago I worked for company that ran main video workstation on Pentium II 300Mhz + 256Mb running WinNT4.0 (rock solid btw). Without any problems used Premiere, After Effects, Digital Fusion, Discreet Logic to edit/process/compose video of broabcast quality (component CCIR-601 PAL). So before spending money on Mac consider option to upgrade video subsystem.

Well, it's a 128 MB Radeon Mobility X600 on a Pentium Mobile 1.7, and a gig of memory. While not necessarily "top of the line," it certainly has teeth.

Oh Well. I still like Mac's, and will probably go cross-platform before long anyway. Windows for the .NET, and Mac for the graphics and video.
