I am a pro photography that has an all RAW workflow. I am heavy photoshop CS2 user, spending about 75% of my computer time in CS2. I currently am using a Quicksilver 933, maxed out ram, and stock video card. Lately I find my workflow increasing and the my system is need of an upgrade.
I cant afford to take a speed hit running CS2 via Rosetta on an Intel MacPro ( I have been told it is a noticeable lag). I was curious if I upgraded my G4 to a dual 1.8ghz processor would there be an increase in CS2 performance? Would rather sink $500 into an upgrade and wait till Adobe releases an Intel friendly CS3, but dont want to drop the cash if it's not going to be a noticbable difference in speed.
Any thoughts?
