    Others have used it with success, although it is not a qualified system. If you use the MOJO, nothing else can be on the firewire bus.

    Serleejus:

    hold on, there is a qualified iMac in the feb 29 pdf:

     

    iMac  

    2.33 GHz or lower Core 2 

    Duo Intel processor, 24” 

    Display 

      Mojo only    

    - Support for NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 

    256MB or NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128MB 

    graphics card  

     

    I would suspect the graphic interface is the most important-- stick to those and you should be fine.  Not sure why it must be the 24" display though it looks sweet and it's relatively very affordable.

     

    MC3.5 on a MacBook Pro 17", OSX 10.5.7, 2.6GHZ core2duo, 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, external LaCie d2Quadra 500GB on FW800. the ole' pc: Avid Xpress... [view my complete system specs]

    Re: Imac Compatibilty With AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 3.5

    To wander a bit, I see 4.0 plus is NOT qualified on the above imac 24" hardware in the current qualified systems list.

    Only this Imac is, apparently:

    20” Display
    2.66 GHz CPU
    4 GB RAM
    GeForce 9400
    640FV disk drive√ √ - Requires MC/Symphony software 3.5
    - iMac is 2009 vintage

    I wonder if anyone can tell me if I can run it on my 3 year old white 2" Imac?  (Same as red ant's list except 2.16 Core 2 (3G of ram, 128 M)GeForce 7300) IF I HAVE NO NEED FOR HIGH OR MIXED RESOLUTIONS??

    I'm usually confined to offline, 14:1 or 15:1 or SD NTSC DV resolutions. (I don't digitize on this particular workstation.)

    Will 4.02 choke on this or only if I were trying to use more HD stuff?

    TIA

    I'd download a demo version of Media Composer and see if it works!
