Upgraded my Mac and now I HAVE to upgrade FCE??

I upgraded my mac from an eMac to an Intel iMac last week and now I am trying to get my FInal Cut Express HD onto it. It says it needs an AGP graphics card, but when I updated the program so it would not need the AGP graphics installer, I got a pop up that said that i didn't need the installer. I have already payed to upgrade to HD, but now, am I, one year later, going to have to buy another $100 program? I think it should be compatible wilth all Macs, don't you?

It will work just fine after you "esc" away the warning. There is also an easy edit you can do to a preference file so you don't see the error at all but you'll have to search for it (I don't remember what it was).
I worked this way for a while on my intel mac and FCE 3. However, I was used to FCE on a dual G5 tower, so, I didn't like the speed penalty.
The speed benefit of upgrading to the universal version of FCE 3.5 is worth it, IMHO. However, if you were used to FCE on an eMac (G4) then your Intel Mac will still run non-native intel software at a good clip for you, probably a bit faster even.
