I started video editing on a 200 megahertz 7200 powermac with a G3 
upgrade card, then a G4 400. Yes, you can create digital video using a 
1.8 ghz Mac. If your bugdet constrains you to this, then invest in as 
much ram and HD space as you can. These two factors are as important as 
raw processor speed. That said, if you can squeeze out or justyify to 
the spouse the extra moolah to get the dual processor Mac, then go for 
it, it will save you lots and lots of WAIT time.
and time is money.
