Aperture on a Mac Book Pro?
Hi, if everything goes as planned, the universal binaries for most of Apple's pro software should be ready by march if I'm not mistaken?
I would love to be able to run Aperture on a new Mac Book Pro, but does anyone know if it is fast enough or if it will be supported?
I believe that Aperture requires a 2.0 Ghz G5 or higher, but do we know how that translates to the new Mactels?
If anyone has any further information it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't want to possibly waste $500, though, so when the universal version does come out, I recommend you go down to a local Apple Store and talk to a rep there who might be able to give some advice (or you can just call Apple... though real-life Apple Store reps are generally more honest).
It's impossible to comment on how well it would run without first-hand experience, but just having a second processor core means that a multi-threaded app such as Aperture will benefit quite a bit.
Aperture doesn't require a G5. Apple does recommend one, however. I wouldn't be surprised if the 1.83 GHz Core Duo translates roughly to at least a dual 1.8 GHz G5 (or slightly better) in practical performance, which would mean that Apple would finally have a laptop that could be preferred for Aperture, as opposed to merely being capable of running it.
