Will my PowerMac Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.4.11) 2 GB RAM run FCP6?

I have a fairly decent PowerMac Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.4.11) 2 GB RAM. I am looking to get Final Cut 6 and am wondering if the video card will limit some funtionality. Its AGP. I dont care if rendering will take long, just need to know if the card will suffice. Googling didnt get me any straight answers. Thanks!
 
Apple's own technical specs answer this.

You should be fine. The 9600 is the minimum ATI card offered by Apple that supports Motion, but otherwise you are within the requirements.

Thanks for the info. I did look up the specs on apples site but read about some extreme card. Maybe I didnt delve deeper into it.
 
Yeah, Final Cut Studio 2 will even run with a 1.25GHz G4, though I imagine quite poorly. I would suggest more RAM if it is an option and you hope to work with HD content, but otherwise, that system should be fine.
