I just purchased a 2.3 last month. This machine screams... I know everyone is all "Intel! Intel!" but if you want a machine with that's ready to go(no software compatibilty issues) and powerful as all hell, the G5 is the way to go. I was on the fence about the Intel thing for a lil while, but a 2nd or 3rd gen MacBook Pro will keep me technologically updated. I was on a G4 dual 1.25 and needed something that I could migrate all of my software to and get back to work! I have no regrets and haven't looked back since.

Hope that helps

how is the speed of DP4.6 or whatever version you are using on your new 2.3? what are your plug-in/VI limitations? thanks.
