I brought my first Apple MacBook 2.0 gig with 512mb of ram a couple of months ago. I decided to give my PC laptop to my boy and learn Mac. I want to run Final Cut Pro Universal version on my MacBook, but Apple says it requires the MacBook Pro to run and I should upgrade because it has the graphic card to run FCP, is that true??

You might want to get some more RAM.

The only problem is the integrated video. If I remember correctly FCP has a pretty graphic intensive user interface. Much like Aperture I think.


With 2GBs of RAM. It should work well for you. Not like my Mac Pro. But well. :D

You do need a minimum of 1gb of ram to run that. However the lack of a video card will not even allow you to install FCP or Aperture. It will actually look at those things before hand and allow or not allow you to install.
