There is a Media100 list that is very very helpful.

It's called the IMUGonline. You should sign up and post the question there
before making a purchase decision. I'm sure that if it works with a new
computer, those folks would know.
Also, you are using Premiere software. It's unclear if Adobe will release a
Mac version anymore. Final Cut Pro has really cut into their sales, and the
new Final Cut Express is only $299 (though it is DV only).

Are you working with analog component (betacam) material?

www.IMUGonline.com to sign up or read the archives.
