Getting ready to drop some dough on this, thought I should ask in case anyone out there's had a bad experience or knows of one. Appreciate a heads up if problems are beginning to surface. Thanks.
It's been working great for me. It's a lot faster than when I was running it on my 1.5 GHZ Powerbook. I haven't done any huge projects or anything yet, but what I have done has worked without a hitch.
the intel imac g5 is quite smooth. ive found render and encoding times a little faster than a powermac g4. working with DV. So i dont think im pushing the machine to its limits. though i must mention im using the older fcp and its still running faster than a friends g4. i think with he upgrade to universal software it'll give me far better speeds...so it might be a good idea for you too. i'm quite satisfied with mine
