Q: Running FCS 2 on 13" Core i5 with Lion?

My Questions are;

 

1. What apps in Final Cut Studio 2 could be run on a 13" Core i5 2.3 Ghz Macbookpro?

 

2. Are the integrated Intel Graphics 3000 on the sandybridge Pros supported with FSC 2 rather than the integrated intel graphics that FCS 2's specs lists as unsupported?

 

13" Specs - http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-13inch.html

FCS 2 Specs - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP535

 

3. Would the method of installing FCS 2 through firewire described in the following link work? (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15540498#15540498)

 

 

- I realize that optimally one should just get the 17" Core i7 MBP with everything maxed out, however I am not rich and that isn't an option.

 

- I realize that I could just read the specifications and assume everything doesn't work but I've seen it mentioned without detail that someone ran FSC  fine on a 13" of some sort. Also I am not sure about the integrated graphics difference.

 

-  I realize that the Installer for FCS 2 is PPC (Rosetta) which is not supported by Lion. That is why I have posted the question about the feasibleness of the workaround in point #3.

 

- I am not considering FCPX

 

Thanks for taking the time to read and I would appreciate any response you can give to any of the above questions.
