The hard disk are slowing down when you get over half of it's size but it is not so bad in new models with big cache memory (16Mb model).

well.. i have one :D Apple MacBook PRO :P

But you'll have to wait to VDJ 4 mac ;)

But you can buy any pc that has good components (fast disc & ram, core duo processor, good graphic card, possibly ATI,...)
