Mac users who edit video : A question

I use dual iMac 27" for most of my normal work (photoshop, html, accounting, project management, skype, demos, site and live stream management, etc, but lately I am finding myself editing more and more video for our members area.

The iMacs that I have are fast for everything but seem to slow way down when working with video files (30 minute mpeg's at 720 lines take forever to load and convert to other formats, and editing is painful). I have 8GB of Ram.

I am considering buying a 12 Core Mac Pro with 24GB of Ram, but its a real budget breaker. Is there anyone here with a system like this? Is it fast / smooth? Does it make work easier? For the price it should be *extremely fast* of course but I'd like to hear from anyone on it before diving in.
