Thanks for the replies, chaps.

Racer- I think I'd rather go down the Final Cut route than the GoLive route (even though this *might* mean upgrading).

Adambyte- do you mean to say that even with an older version of FCP I would still need to upgrade to OSX 10.3? I am trying to track down FCP v.3. on the basis it will work with what I already have.

Basically, the way I figure it is that this machine (top spec back in 2003) was built for applications like FCP (version 3 at that time?). Although, clearly, it can't handle FCP 5. However, if the sort of thing that was churned out by professionals like you back in 2003 is anything to go by, it's more than adequate for my purposes (semi-pro promo vids and fun vids of paragliding to distribute amongst the paragliding community).
