I was looking into purchasing a 20 inch G5 iMac, but I was wondering something. If I was to max out the RAM, would the iMac be more than sufficient for doing some fairly siimple video editing in Final Cut Express? It's pretty crucial for me to be able to do this, and I was wanting to make sure that it wouldn't be sloppy if I got it. Can anyone help me out?

Dont worry. An iMac G5 is plenty good enough to edit video. Back in the day I edited a broadcast television show on a 300Mhz B&W G3 Powermac. Any G5 blows that old system out of the water.

Thank you very much for the response. Hopefully within a few weeks I'll be ready to order.
