My office is running the AVID Express System on a Mac G4. At the time we purchased it the choices were Express DV, Express, Media Composer, Symphony, and I think there is one above that.

We've also got Final Cut Pro sitting on another G4. Both systems are great and have their pros and cons. In fact I finished up two different commercials today...one on each system.

Although I love both of these systems, I still believe that with a dedicated computer, lots of RAM, a dedicated drive(s) for media, and the software that you feel comfortable with, you can produce very good results. In some ways it's almost like the choices of keyboards and instruments....the sounds, interfaces, name brand, and cost are what drives people to certain brands over others.

Best of luck with what ever you decide.
