I'm seeing and hearing about a lot more use of iMacs for avid editing at production companies and coming from rental houses. In fact my current gig is on a 27 inch iMac with a 2nd monitor and no hardware.

All running off Thunderbolt. The question is, is there enough bandwidth? Will the sound stay in sync with the client monitor? If it does hang together it has big ramifications for the MacPro and it's future. If it works I have a client who wants to put in 30 of the suckers. Anybody running AVID in this configuration?

Didn't know if MC will actually take advantage of the hyper-threading of the i7. If not, I will use the price difference somewhere else.
