Too many variables to define anything exact. Full productions have been done on far less.

Get a Mac Pro instead - you already have the screen(s) to hook up to it. Even the cheapest MacPro will outperform any iMac. And you can put a lot more RAM inside (for cheaper than the iMac's maximum of 3GB). And you can stick extra SATA drives inside (they perform way better than Firewire800, and they're way cheaper). f-erenc szabo, smarty pants Z+E+R+O+B+E+A+T "NOW POWERED BY THE MIRACLE OF THE TRANSISTOR!" <http://home.goodmedia.com/~zerobeat>
