Joe:

Good to have a FT user to ask questions of here, as you've gotten a  
preview of the pain we're all about to endure!

Re power -- is CPU or GPU power what one needs here?  That is, will a  
4 processor 2.66 Mac Pro do, or is a 4 processor 3.0 or 8-processor  
machine manditory?  Does the fast ATI card do well, or is the new  
Quadro FX 5600 (with 1.5 GB onboard RAM) the way to go?  How much RAM  
in the Mac?

So many questions!
