[QUOTE="mac57, post: 275205, member: 17052"] aristo3650, one word of caution. I was just in my local Apple store this afternoon, testing out CS2 Photoshop running on today's best Mac Pro, sporting the 3.0 GHz parts. While empirical, the following may be useful. On my PowerMac G5, Photoshop CS2 launches from click on the Dock icon to fully ready for use in about 6 seconds. That same number on the news Mac Pro was 12-14 seconds. A lot of this is the Rosetta effect of course, but I had heard Rosetta exacted a 40% to 50% penalty, not a 100% penalty. For now, and until CS3 comes out, an older PowerMac G5 is without question the fastest Apple Photoshop processor out there. If that is your main application, you may wish to reconsider the purchase of a Mac Pro, or just hold off until the spring when Adobe releases CS3 in Universal. [/QUOTE]
