Hi,
I can't remember if this has been brought up here or not yet, but I'm wondering if anyone has used Final cut Express on a clamshell iBook (I have a 466MHz).
Apple's support site states the following for system requirements:

You'll need the following equipment for Final Cut Express 1.0:
<snip>
One of the following computers:

Power Macintosh G3/300 megahertz (MHz) or faster with built-in FireWire
Powerbook G3/400 MHz or faster with built-in FireWire
iMac 350 MHz or faster with built-in FireWire
iBook (Dual USB) 500 MHz or faster with built-in FireWire
eMac
Xserve

</snip>

It looks like I'm out of luck by those requirements, but I'm wondering if it will still run, but just a little slow.
It isn't a resolution limitation like with iMovie 3 is it?
Dave.
