Are their any software issues, CS2, etc with the Intel iMacs???
Have a new iMac and inDesign CS2 is not working very well...
Help!

get piles and piles of RAM - I have been struggling eith an intel iMac running CS2 for a few months now and its so slow that it has really badly affected my performance, I am currently using an old pc laptop which performs much better.
I'm waiting on a huge RAM upgrade which I hope will sort the problem, but I'm not holding my breath
- emptyempty0
it wont be long till CS3 will come out
- kelpie0
yeah and how much will the upgrade be?
- Stoph0
I heard that their wasn't any upgrades until next year...

have you been living in a cave by any chance?

Yeah, I have been living in a cave...

it seems some of the intel macs work better than others (and I know we've been through this at lenght already rasko) People seem to like the performance of the laptops, and the workstations are supposedly pretty good too, but in my and other people's experiances, teh iMacs are a guff computer.
Pretty dissapointing stuff.

what do you mean really slow?
are you talking illy 7 slow or photoshoop4 slow???
i mean these puter of today are so fast i am getting concerned with all the complaints to it being slow and i am not sure to what is being meant when there is slowness being mentioned.
maybe i am going thru the same thing but i dont see a slowness at all.
i work in illy and i create very large heaqvy technical sketches and cad designs.
i have never crashed, and never had any issues like i used to on the G3 ibook clamshell 3gig hd i jsut had b4 this puter.
i came from super slow to lighting fast, but i still managed everything i accomplish today on that machine prior..
that can be it since...but i still dont see the slowness people are talking about.
can you describe your actions b4 the puter began to slow down.
it can be your key strokes...maybe you need to re-adjust your own speed or something...
not sure myself...but its fAAST!!!!! NO JOKE!!!

Slow is when teh little rainbow wheel is on the screen for a couple of minutes when all you are trying to do is open up a 72dpi jpeg...
That's is SLOW!

AHAHAHAHA!!!

for me e-pill, I'm getting the computer freezing all the time on functions, taking a long long time to do things as simple as change tools in PS, I can't have more than one CS app open, so it's really annoying for doing anything where I need to work in Illy and transfer stuff to PS docs. lots of stuff like that I can't be arsed to document.
thing is, on this laptop, running the same amount of ram, with a supposedly much slower processor etc, everything is smooth as hell and lightening fast.

stoph!?!?!
i have never seen the rainbow ball ever on this machine...i always have 5 programs open at any given time. none of any of them every slowed down or crashed. and no spinning ball.
i think you need to get your machine checked.
i also never shut off my machine or very rarely.
dont know if that has any thing to do good or bad.i think the reaal truth is to smoke extreme amounts of weed and to constant blow the haze into the puter and around it. this is the real secret behind apple's hiden code- its the weed baby!!!!!!
hahahaha
