Our IT guy here at work did some un-scientific test with a G5 and a 2.4Ghz Dell
1.8Ghz G5 had 4GB of RAM
Dell 2.4Ghz had 1GBBoth running Photoshop 7
The G5 handily beat the living shit out of the Dell running a bunch of photoshop filters - noise, large gradient drawing, blur, and then they rotated the canvas.
(18inx18in 600 dpi or so)Dell took 15 mins to rotate.
G5 did it as soon as they hit enter.In other words - The G5 is pretty fast, and OS X loves RAM.
G5 and a fast P4 will be neck and neck.
so, now you gotta look at other thingsLike the OS.
and we all know OS X kicks ass

Apple just brought us a brand new CORDLESS (oooh, the innovation!!) mouse.
and still with ONE button..
*fetches sides of Apple monitor, smashes head against screen*
Apple just never learns...grr..
- but i still love it.
heck i never used anything different, it's my childhood 'puter! yay!

yeah, like a previous thread when someone was exited to see a G5 up close but was dissapointed that it took a long time to open photoshop compared to his PC, therefore dismissing the G5 as a fast computer. If all youre doing all day is opening and closing photoshop, get a PC.

re-read and notice my cynicism... if you did not spot it you should see a doctor, son.
- jox0

quite sad to hate on a product you are not obliged to use.
weird if you ask me.

if you get a Mac, you gain 50 Hot Points, instantly! And i'm stingy with my Hot Points, so it would probably be like 4 million Hot Points from the average person.
go 'head...step into the light...
- jox0
sorry to hear that man :(
- 4cY0
it's ok, joxiebwoy! btw. when do you finally head down here?
and:
Hi, mayo!

cordless mice works with mac if they use USB ports. So we had access to them too.
the new cordless apple mouse uses bluetooth.

i planned to go down to that city.. err. what's it called again (you looked it up for me), but it got cancelled. :(
However i might come when things calm down up here. :) How's it going with the whole Belgium-thing? And what about Bio vs Belgium? Crist, half of NT is coming to Belgium dammit! :D
- 4cY0
well, Bio's visit is postponed.. i still hope the baldheaded will come, altho there are still some security issues with getting to hide all babies in Belgium to prevent them from being eaten by the freak.
And my move is postponed as well, altho i have a lovely apt., but i put someone else in it, she pays my bills there while i can sort out some clients/worx here before i definatly make the move.
but it can't possibly be that far from now anymore..
:)
oh and you are welcome!
