1. Exactly.

dave's dual monitor issue with the laptop and video directly relates to the fact that the laptop probably is running a built in video card, which shares system ram and has no gpu. Integrated cards are good for basic computing.

2. No argument here. Except the newish 'integrated' video cards (intel cpu's with medium end gpu's) are pretty damn good.

checked quicktime. Looks like it has been opengl compliant since around '08, meaning it has been able to utilize a gpu for rendering.

3. Quicktime, since 2008. Great. One piece of software, since 2008. And quicktime sucks, imo.

From my experience, limited as it is, the one thing that speeds up video editing is the cpu. It has nothing to do with the os, as long as there is the software that works with os.

ymmv
