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

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

Serleejus:

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.

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.
