I've got an AMD-based 32-bit processor (which excludes using Raylight), and have been running Vegas for years (SD only). Finally have an opportunity to start working in HD, so demoed Raylight + Vegas on a friend's smoking P4. Wasn't able to even watch the video in realtime, let alone do some simple edits. Needless to say I was not impressed.
I've been meaning to switch over to Mac for quite a while, and even have FCS 5 already. Assuming my storage problem is taken care of (external FW or eSATA RAID silo), I'm wondering what people are using for Mac systems out there, to get a flavor of how much I will spend, and the minimum I can get away with? I started going down the used dual G5 road, but people are cautioning me, so I'm also wondering if there are any serious HD editors out there working on a Dual G5?
