Hmmm, I need a powerfull GPU, AT THE VERY LEAST as powerfull as the x850 XT I already have. In many cases, that card isn't even powerfull enough for me, especially when I need to use 3D objects with lots of large textures. The problem is this : …

So, according to you guys, the MBP wont be much faster than the dual G5, just about the same performance, maybe a bit faster in some operations and slower in some others ? Is that it ? Hmm, it's not enough for me then. I need something signific…

And what about OpenGL apps ? I'll use the MacBookPro mostly for OpenGL apps (3D modeling, presentations in the classroom, etc).
-
Most apps are Intel native, yes, except Photoshop and maybe few small apps.

We never have enough ram. Ram is one of the most important things, even BEFORE the processor's speed. I'm using 4 GB in my G5 tower.

No, you're wrong on this. Celestia isn't a port. It's really a cross platform app. It was developped (I know personaly the author) to be multiplatform from the start. Yes, the Mac version lacks few features (QT movies export and an eclipse searc…

The problems I'm experiencing are pretty hard to describe. They seems to be related to the video card drivers. I'm using Celestia, a full OpenGL 2.0 heavy 3D application which demands a lot to the video card. The main programmer, Chris Laurel (au…

What are the approximate cost of those two cards ? How can you compare them with ATI Radeon x850 XT ? And are you sure they both are AGP 8x compatible ?

LoL !

Kickaha, what about performances ? Do you feel your computer is a bit faster this way ? Less lags ?
-
The first original drive is a Maxtor 160 GB. The second drive is a Maxtor 250 GB. Both are Serial ATA, in a G5 dual 2.0 GHz. The OS (Tiger) is on the first drive. I'm still puzzled about my files configurations. Should I put all documents (an…

Then how do you set the users directory to the non-OS drive ?
-
So, what is the best strategy with two internal drives ? The OS on the smallest ? What else on the same drive ? All documents on the second HD ? Is that it ?

The most lagging app of all, the queen of disk access, is Celestia. It's an awesome, marvelous, incredible FREE astronomy software. It needs every computer ressources (ram, video card memory, HD access, processor, etc). I'm also running at the sa…

I'm thinking about the best strategy (performances wise), and I'm not sure yet what is the best solution. How to distributes files and programs on two internal HDs ?
-
Why ? I want top performances on this system. I'm using many disk intensive programs, and the system lags very often, despite the huge amount of ram on this machine (4 GB).

I brought a dual G5 last year (description in my signature) and the machine is PERFECT ! The only problems I may experience are software related only.
