  • I wonder how long that compiler's going to take to arrive . . . . . . still waiting . . . (and no, I'm not mad, I just know that in my circle I have a ONE SHOT chance at proving that the new G5 is FAST to my PC-totting comrades-if the be…

  • Quote: Originally posted by FotNS Well the Cinebench scores are only slightly better than what my two year old 1400MHz Athlon achieves. So if a single 1.6Ghz is the same speed as an Athlon 1.4, HOW THE HECK will a dual 2Ghz beat by 2x the …

  • The highend pro cards have drivers specifically tuned to Maya, Softimage, etc. Just look at the Maya compatability pages for 3d graphics cards, and you'll notice under the mac's that the radeons and Nvida's have problems, whereas the approved cards…

  • Since the new G5 is using AGP PRO, can it also take a FireGL or Quadro FX? That's what's needed for serious Maya work, which I believe this machine can do if it had the right graphics card.

  • I'm lovin' the new case design. And I'm so thankful I can finally say that the Mac is back on top. BTW, everybody at my work was floored when they saw the mac finish the photoshop file before the dual xeon could even open it!! That was the end of…
