[Johnny White] "running on a 2.5 G5 ppc with a 9800xt card"
One of our systems was a 2.7DP G5 / 4 GB RAM / ATI 9800 running FT. The UI was really slow. SD DV renders took 3 times longer with that card. A pain.
Last week we upgraded to an X800 XT card. The UI is great and renders way faster. Now this is FT. I do not have my copy of Color yet, but for what I've been reading, probably you won't get floating point and maybe Color will barely run.
If I were you, I would try to upgrade to an X800 XT. I just read a post of someone running Color with the same configuration as ours saying it just like running FT.
I will our first copy of Color this weekend and start testing after the holiday.
