[P1] Final Cut Express on Clamshell iBook

[Joe Jones]

There's likely to be a resolution limitation as well as a hardware 
problem - if you don't have a firewire port you won't be able to 
capture any video footage (unless you copy it over from another 
computer). Even the clamshells that do have a firewire port are 
probably just too underpowered to work with full frame DV - both in the 
cpu and the gpu department.
