Default Video editing Work

Hey guys,
I am wondering if the following computer would be good enough to do a full length live action movie. I am the tech director (by the way this is a school project) and i am not sure if i would be able to run the software on here. I have two questions: A) Is the software I'm using the right thing? and B) Is this computer ok to do this kind of job?

Here are the computer's specs:
OS: Mac OS X 10.5
HD: 120gb Fujitsu MHY2120BH
CPU: Intel Dual-Core 2.1GHz
RAM: 1gb DIMM DDR2
GPU: 144mb Intel GMA X3100

And here's the link to the software page: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/overview.html

If you need any more info then just ask.
Thanks for any help

Not to hot on Macs but is that an onboard GFX card... for video editing... I doubt it.

I would think it would be painfully slow to use.

Yeah, its an onboard GPU.
Anyways, What kind of hardware would i need to do this kind of work? I know that the school has an eMac that is specced for audio recording but would that be good enough? Or should i just go with a custom built PC? If i get a PC that would mean a HUGE school expense and we might be breaking our contract with Apple Computer.

Again, Thanks for any help and thanks for the help already given.

PS: I dont know if this would work but i could customize one of the two older Apple desktops. Is that possible?
