Using Final cut pro on IMAC 17"

[shehadi]

I just bought an IMAC 17" 2.0/1G/160/SD/AP/BT with the sole intention of running final cut pro. But after I installed the program I get the error message that I need an AGP graphics card. The final cut pro is version 4.0. I don't know if my computer now is worthless or if I can go out and purchase this AGP graphics card. Any help would be appreciated.

Your PCI-Express graphics sub-system is superior to AGP. It's just that Final Cut Pro is running an older check and it can't detect the video card properly. I believe you should be able to contact Apple and get a patched installer or new media.

If your using an Intel Imac you need final cut Pro 5.1 to run. FCP and rosetta don't mix.
