	Hello all.... I am a contract editor for several video production studios around town... right now I'm working off of my MBP, but have felt the need for a desktop system. A studio friend recently redid his video studio with a macpro, and has offered his dual 2ghz, 3GB ram, 410GB HD to me for $1300. Now my question is simply this, have you found your investment in a full size desktop computer to be worth while? I could just as easily get a newer referb or used Imac, with 1GB of ram and an intel chip for around the same price... thank you for your time! (BTW, I use Finalcut studio, and Boris Red most often)
