Me too! I have a G4-450DP and I'd like to be able to use FCP at least for SD video. Thing is that most of the upgrades I've seen that look as though they have the horsepower cost an arm and a leg! I could buy a perfectly respectable brand new lap-top that would outrun even the upgraded system for a similar price! What sort of concerns me is whether the upgrade manufacturers will lose interest once they've got the cream of the old machines sorted. I suspect there will never be a mass market pricing to tempt out the common Joe to keep his old Mac flying. FWIW Perry Mitchell
