Ron Boyes 0 Posted November 23, 2005 Get mine in a couple of weeks, should be the same time as Aperature is available. How have you configured it RAM, video card etc? What are your thoughts about its performance with Photoshop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmooney 6 Posted November 24, 2005 Ron , I configured the machine as such 4GB 533 DDR2 Non ECC SDRAM - 4x1GB ( will add more as the budget allows ) 500GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm - already have a heap of externals NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256MB SDRAM ( 7800's are on a 8 week backorder ) I figure that I can always upgrade the machine once the wife has started to swim in her new pool.... it may get her to coool down a little. My motivation in getting this machine is two fold. Firstly I wanted the grunt more for video work and secondly I had an offer I couldn't refuse for the oldmachine ( 2.7DP , 8gig Ram , 2 x 400 ) HDV & related software just run better on new machines and I hate having to deal with the spinning ball of death.

Tom_Kline 143 Posted November 24, 2005 I have been wondering how much faster one of these machines is compared my current rig, a 1.33 GHz G4 laptop with 2GB of RAM. An order of magnitude ???? Congratulations and Happy Thanksgiving! Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmooney 6 Posted November 30, 2005 Tom, There is no comparison between the two machines. Its a bit like the VW & the Porsche......... Just added another 4 gig of ram (total 8 gig now , still have space for another 8 ) - it really flies now. My poor old power book hasn't been out of it's case in days !!
