I have FCS 2 on a G4 1.67 Mac Book.

Final Cut is fine.

Motion is too slow for anything but basic lower thirds.

DVD Studio Pro is fine.

Compressor is so slow as to be almost unusable for anything longer than five minutes.

Color, of course, does not work, or even install.

DV works very well. HDV and other long GOP formats are painfully slow.

If you are working in those formats in FCS 1, and are getting acceptable performance, I suspect you will still be OK with FCS 2.

Best,
