I used to have a G5 iMac iSight built in(which was the best computer I have ever owned) and sold it to buy the Core Duo version. I swear I am fed up with it. I seriously felt like throwing this computer out many times (at the moment of anger of course). To make matters worse, I decided to use iMovie 6 yesterday (which I spent 2 hours to put my pictures together, music etc...), and make some videos out of my Christmas pictures. iMovie makes the computer extremely slow (I have 2GB of RAM factory installed), then freezes and then shuts down on me without notice when I try to ad Ken Burns effects to my pictures. I have already reformatted the whole hard drive and reinstalled everything and it is still doing it. I have repaired disk permissions, still the same thing. I am not sure if iMovie 6 is full of bugs or whether is the Intel transition problem (iMovie 6 runs Native, that's what ****** me off the most). Is there another way I could ad Ken Burns Effect? On iMovie 5 it was standard, now on the new version of iMovie you have to ad it.
I knew that the computer would be slower due to the Intel Transition, but not freeze on me all the time. If Apple does not come out with a serious update in the next month (update for the Native Applications that are full of bugs) I am selling this computer.
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance..

Sounds like your unit is defective. Call AppleCare.

I called Apple they made me do a Hardware test by holding Control or something like that, all the tests passed the test so they told me that they couldn't do anything for me at the moment as this could be due to the Intel transition.... Has anyone experienced this with iMovie 6?

Are you saying that iMovie crashes or the whole computer? I had a similar problem with all of the iLife programs crashing. Try moving the files under your videos folder onto the desktop then relaunching the program. The problem that I was having is that when the media viewer tried to decode the divx files in that folder it would get very slow and then crash.
