Question

FCP 4.5 no good on Quad?

I just got my quad G5 and I installed FCP 4.5 on it but when I went to run the app I get a dialog box that says "his software requires certain hardware or software which is missing:

PMG4/350mhz or faster
AGP graphics card

Is it possible that is won't run on this machine? I have the 7800 video card.

1.5ghz 12 inch PB and a Quad G5, Mac OS X (10.4.3)
