Don't count yourself out! When we played two weeks ago in the inaugural game, I was playing on an early 2011 15" MacBook Pro. I ran the game full-screen with TeamSpeak in the background and Snapz Pro X also capturing full-screen. All local. No external drives or anything like that.

Maybe! This probably depends mostly on the resolution of your screen. The larger your screen resolution, the more taxing the endeavor will be on your CPU, GPU, and disk.

That's what I use, but I haven't really tried out the competition. Then I (painstakingly) processed the intro, outro, and episodes in iMovie. I really really wish I still had a Final Cut license because I know it would have handled the process far more easily. Making precise anythings in iMovie is an excruciating exercise. I had to make several sacrifices to the elder gods.
