I'm configuring a new Mac Pro system for video editing. I will be starting out editing older stock home/travel videos then hopefully onto more serious projects in the entertainment field. I'm thinking : 4 Gb mem., 250 Gb for OSX, 750 Gb Seagate scratch disc., ATI Radeon x1900xt graphics card, 30 inch Dell monitor, and Final Cut Suite.
Should I wait on a Quad process. and upgrade later or order the quad now? Any suggestions?

I'd wait and order the day the updated systems are released. Your setup sounds good.

At this point it's always a good idea to wait unless you absolutely need a new system now.

Thanks everybody, I need to digitize some hi8 videos. At first I thought of using my Canon optura xi as an A - D converter, but this may not have the resolution I want. Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced capture card I can use in the Mac Pro for this?

I have also been waiting out for some time now, I hope something comes along this month. I have been putting away money for the past couple months now. I was hoping for a release last month but it never came. The Mac Pro product line is long over do for an upgrade.

Most likely release will be on April 15th, before NAB, to coincide with a new release of the Final Cut Studio.
(Apple have already announced and event for April 15th, it's simply which products will be announced that is in question)

Apple is unpredictable. You could wait, if you are not in a hurry to see what happens in April, or you could get more work done now..
