I have to buy a powerbook ASAP and do not have time to wait for a 7200. All work is with the HVX and 720 24pn. All footage will be on externals raid drives FW800.
The speed of your internal drive will have no effect on the speed of your external drives. You might only have problems if playing back the footage from the internal drive, but since you are putting the footage onto external RAIDed drives, you should have no problem.
