Cleo, have you upgraded to Snow Lopard yet? I still haven't as I always wait a couple of months for the bugs to be worked out. But from what I have heard from a couple of friends, it really speeds everything up.

Tony, I have video going constantly. We shoot 3 new full videos every week, and I still have close to 800 videos from "the old days" to re-edit in high quality formats. I also output the videos to various formats and sizes and the speed I get out of the Mac for that far outweighs a cheaper PC solution. The productivity I get fully justifies the expense. I have both Premiere Pro CS4 and Vegas Pro 9 on this box, and neither can touch the speed of running FCP on a Mac. I can cut, render and output video in about a third of the time. I do still cut video on this box, mainly with Vegas, as it is sitting here and capable.

Do yourself a service and go grab a copy of Snow Leopard. Took about an hour...reclaimed some space and the programs are running a lot more stable.

Snow leopard is great. It's faster and I got back some much needed drive space.

I had to upgrade Crossover, A Better Finder Rename, Copy Past Pro, and put Safari in 32 bit mode so that Spell Catcher and Copy Paste Pro worked with it but everything else that I use has been issue free.

I have Vista on exactly one machine, and have regretted it from about a week in. I bought a new notebook and had no choice. I have already pre-purchased windows 7 and anxiously await it's arrival despite the fact it's going to be a pain to upgrade since fucking Microsoft decided they'd only do like version to like version in place.
