hello

I currently have a 1.4 ghz powermac g4 that I use for video editing

but I want to get an intel based mac - and the cheapest I can get as money is tight

does anybody know if the macbook (white one - its the cheapest) will allow me to run dual displays off of it?

You can only connect one external DVI or VGA display; so you have dual displays if you count the built-in screen.

If you want two external displays, you'd need to use VGA and Matrox's DualHead2Go.
