I would recommend with your post above to certainly check out the Mac Pro for your specific use.

1. The Mac Pro can run BOTH Windows 7 AND Mac OS in native mode now. Meaning you can duel boot. It is also the fastest right now with the latest Intel CPUs.

2. You will get the best of both worlds for all computer needs, like video editing, photos, etc.

3. For the apps you want to run outside the Mac OS in 64 bit, such as Adobe Photoshop CS4 or Vue 7, just duel boot. With the new "Snow Leopard" coming out it will allow you to read the Windows 7 OS just fine from "Boot Camp".

4. It is the best of both worlds for both Mac and PC plus don't forget you do NOT have to buy right now Windows 7 and can download the RC1 for FREE from Microsoft. That way you have both.

With that money I would HIGHLY recommend at least 12 GB RAM and look into something like a "Drobo". Not only will it give you data backup, but you can also netowork it like I do with their network add-on device and read/write with both Mac and PC file formats so you can duel boot without much to deal with at all in your work flow.

Best of luck and happy shopping.
