[QUOTE="mac57, post: 217874, member: 17052"] Well, my first response would be a simple performance argument. Photoshop CS2 on a Power Mac G5 is nearly twice as fast as on the fastest PC's today. Adobe has extensively optimized Photoshop for the PPC based Macs. DO NOT buy Photoshop for an Intel Mac. It is native PPC code until CS3 comes out, which means that it is interpreted through Rosetta and is as slow as cold molasses going uphill. Running natively on the PPC based Power Macs though, it outperforms anything on the market. I am not making this up - I am a Photoshop CS2 user who has just moved from PC to Mac precisely to get more performance. After extensive reading and research, I went with a Power Mac G5. It is simply the fastest Photoshop engine out there right now (and for the next 12 months or so until CS3 comes out). [/QUOTE]
