Quark and Adobe CS on MacBookPro?

mandricard

Just curious if anyone has had success running these two programs on a MBP, and if they are too terribly sluggish for words, or if they run acceptably....



Thanks in advance!

I'm running InDesign 3.0 and Photoshop 7 on a black Macbook. Sure, it's sluggish (I only have 512k of memory--will up to 2gig asap) but I find it very acceptable; it can only get better with more memory. Obviously the apps you mention will run even better on a Pro machine.

Thanks.... now just waiting for someone to chime in about Quark.

P.s. I noticed that the MBP's don't ship with paired memory. Does one have to pair it or could one just get a second 512MB Chip for 1GB total?

I used to run Quark 6 on much weaker hardware, and it ran great. So I imagine rosetta should be fine for it. CS is probably going to be sluggish, because it's a bloated monster that's sluggish in Windows on P4's, but there's nothing you can do about that except wait until Q2 2007.

Good to know.... but are there issues with Quark and the Intel-based OS?
