Great for SD... but HDV? It ain't so great.
Anyways, a few of you have convinced Mr. Ignorance (that's me) that it's worth it to edit in HD so I'm in the market for a Mac to be able to do it.
What are the minimum specs to be able to edit efficiently? 4 gigs of RAM? 6? 8? What would you go with?

Get the fastest Mac you can afford!
By the way, I have a G5 dual 2.0 with a Kona card and it cuts HD footage just fine.
It takes longer to render than my newer Mac Pro, but it still works.
Also, don't let a bunch of people on the internet tell you what format you need to be editing in.
Let your client base dictate if you need to edit SD or HD.
Are your clients requesting that you shoot and edit in HD?
