iMovie '08 on a G4...mostly

Reports at xlr8yourmac.com has people running iMovie '08 on both a PB and a dual G4. Performance on the PB was said to be poor, while the dual G4 with a Radeon 9800 pro.

Many of Apple's apps have been leveraging the GPU for work, I suppose that iMovie 8 is hitting up the graphics card which along with the smaller cache on the processor is responsible for the differing results. iMovie on my 12" PB is not exactly a speed demon either, but if FCP can run on it I cannot imagine why anything called "iMovie" shouldn't.
