I have to be honest that I dont know... anything about FCE (what even IS that?) however i can report that I have a MacBookPro 2.33ghz with 4 g RAM. I have FCP STUDIO 2. ...and both Color and Motion work... OK.. Not superfast, but fine. Now I have to say that I NEVER use Color... Seems like putting a High End Pro Package like this in an editting suite is pointless, people go to college to JUST learn grading, there is no way YOU are ever gonna do anything in it that you cant do with the effects in FCP. (Use the 3 point colour corrector in FCP... F**k Color) Motion is well... the opposite.. if you want to chuck together an intro from templates, its ok.. if I want a bit of fire or smoke, I sometimes make it in Motion to "throw on the timeline in FCP", but ANY compositing or Animation or anything really, Motion is such a cludge, weird interface, weird workflow... save yourself some time, get Adobe AfterEffects instead, and learn the PROPER way to do it... MY FAVORITE PROGRAM.. I even do Audio editing in it, and use it instead of Photoshop! ha ha!! One can discuss the RIGHT computer for the job until the cows come home.. all you need to know is that "Everything WILL work on a MacBookPro". Just... be prepared to watch a few rendering bars once in a while, make sure you use the correct settings for your footage (dont OVER do the quality) and you should have no problem...
