Quote: Originally posted by ChevalierMalFet I would say it'd probably be a lot easier to transition to software that does support multiple cores, especially for 3-D work. I totally agree, however I use Bryce for a lot of my stuff and to date i…

I don't know how a lot of other software works, but I own a dual core 2 Ghz G5 and I have graphics and rendering software that is not optimized for multiple cores, however I am able to maximize my system by setting up seperate user accounts and usin…

Quote: i was wondering are G5 Power Macs quieter than the orignal quicksilvers? I own a 2 ghz dual core G5 and find it to be very quiet. It sits on the desk beside me, about 20 inches from my ear and I can just barely hear the fans going. I do a…

I don't know what the big fuss is about here. 116,000 sq. feet isn't all that big. You could put a nice call centre in there. Manufacturing-wise, you couldn't do a whole lot, at least not on an Apple scale. It could open up some added distribution c…

Thanks for the help guys. It Blows...But Thanks.

Ok. The first link doesn't work and the second one talks about having a G4 Powerbook or PowerMac and using it with a cinema display....which doesn't sound like my problem. I have a brand new G5 dual-core machine with the GeForce Card and I wan…

I agree Programmer. I've had my G5 for almost three years now and before that I was strictly using PC's. I use PC's at work, my friends have PC's, my family has PC's.....I'm around them all the time but I absolutely love my PowerMac and aside fro…

I just ordered a 2 Ghz dual-core G5 and I'm expanding the Ram to 1.5 GB for now. When I get some extra money I'll be upgrading to the 7800GT graphics chip and I may add some more Ram, but we'll see. My current machine with 1.5 GB's Ram shows in stat…

I should mention that only one of my design programs, which I do not use frequently is optimized for multiple processors, and the rest are only designed to run on one processor. Individual processor speed may be more important to me than combined pr…

Do you guys have any suggestions for me? Over the next two months I'm building a third website, and I need to render 80 of my images in 14 different sizes each. Aside from that I am still designing and rendering every day, and can't stand to do …

Why couldn't Apple just use G5 processors? They already have a G5 Quad, and the dual core G5's made next to no difference over the 2 x single G5 processors, except in graphics performance, but that has more to do with the adoption of PCIe than the d…

I'm also looking into a dual 2.7 G5 for my main render machine but have been waiting on it since the IBM 970 MP announcement. I'm waiting till the Paris Expo, and here's why: They might release dual core machines on that date, and if so then I…

Does anyone here currently own both machines? Could you give me an idea of differences in speed between the two? Any idea where I could find some benchmarks on both? Thanks.

I won't be doing any kind of motion or animation work and I rarely exceed 20 layers on an image. I have definitely considered getting the 15 inch for the extra screen real estate but I spend a great deal of time on public transportation and I re…

Canada online store has all duals now.

In response to icfireball: 10.2.8 came with my G5 (single 1.6 Ghz, 1st gen.). When Panther came out I figured I'd wait for a few updates, make sure all the kinks were out, and then buy that but it just got put on the backburner too long. Then the…

Hey all, Ignore my previous post. The head of the recording dept. of the store where I bought everything, just emailed me back and said that in fact they had an Oxygen 8 there that was hooked up through midi to their pro tools setup, and that the…

I'm going to try and be as detailed as possible here because I've tried everything I can think of, I've checked all the manuals, and I've contacted Propellerhead Software, M-Audio & the store I bought it from. (waiting for responses) I figure…

Thank you very much for the responses. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. I just bought Reason 2.5 this weekend at a discounted price along with an M-Audio Oxygen 8 midi controller. Haven't been home yet to try them out but really looking fo…
