this a mac we are talking about?

anyway AMD X2 is pretty sick. I prefer a faster single processor though, better for gaming/movie editing/rendering. AMD FX-55 motherfuckers!

AMD=Best gaming processors

Althought I love macs and I love th interface and liability, I think it's frustrating to upgrade them sometimes. Which is why I have my awesome iBook then I have uber mutant PC that I built.

Hardly better for movie editing and rendering. Gaming yes, but movie editing no.

When i first started editing, it was on a g4 w/ only 512mb of ram. I got my G5 this summer and upgraded to a gig of ram, and as far as editing goes, i dont really see why you'd need anymore. Final Cut never crashes, and rendering doesn't take that long. I mean, yeah it'd be nice to have 2 or more gigs, but how the hell would you ever need 16 gigs?

haha, i guess you ave a point. or just running programs like maya take more than a gig of ram to make it worth using them. and editing in high-def takes a ton of ram also i hear

Try running those applications at the same time :

Adobe Premiere
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Bridge
Maya
Cinema 4D
Burn CD
Play music
Browse on the internet
Run a java application.. Something like Limewire

Good luck with this
