I’ve avoided the dual-boot thing simply because I’ve used up th= e 4 drive slots.

Good suggestion!

An alternative solution is to put a new = drive (say, a nice SSD) into a spare bay in the MacPro (hey, there's a 5th o= ne by the DVD!), install the new OS and tools just on that, and still have a= ccess to the older OS if needed on the existing system drive. It's what I've= done here.

How many of you are running AE on a “loaded” iMac? Does it work= well?

I know I’ve walked into production companies for meetings and ALL I s= ee are iMac’s editing video.

This may be an practical stop-gap solution. Let me know if you use an iMac = for AE and it works well.

Thanks.
