which iMac for HD video editing?

[jdbatino]

Hi,

I've currently got a 2008 macbook 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb ram.
Which of the 2010 iMacs is good for editing with Final Cut Pro 7?

is this good enough?
3.2GHz Intel Core i3
4GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 5670 with 512MB

or should I really go for this one?

2.8GHz Intel Core i5
4GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 5750 with 1GB

Second option certainly is better. But what's wrong with your original 2008 macbook.

For a new Imac, consider getting more RAM?
