[QUOTE="Alvin Meister, post: 208913"] At our design agency we read all the blurb on the internet about Rosetta apps because we needed a new IMac. We were undecided whether to buy a G5 or an Intel since we'd read that Adobe programs sucked under Rosetta 1 minute to startup, slower than a G4 etc. We plumped for the Intel and I can tell you all the scaremongering is baloney. Photoshop and Illustrator are fast. Not lightning but still speedy. They take about 20 secs to startup and then there's no noticable slowdown when using them. QuarkXPress tales a little longer to start, about 40 secs, but after that you're away. As one example, in a test against a 733Mhz G4, enlarging images from 72 to 300 dpi and enlarging by 1500% took about 15 sec on the 2gig Intel and about 1min 30 on the G4. I don't how the G5 would compare, but we use all the usual creative apps in a professional environment. The Intel under Rosetta is superb. [/QUOTE]
