[QUOTE="baggss, post: 398956, member: 6762"] Wait, is this a G5 or a Xeon? The two are mutually exclusive and it can NOT be both. The G5 was a PPC chip, the Xeon is an Intel chip. As for the issue, not all Apps will take advantage of the multi-core chips. Further, CS2 is running under emulation (Rosetta) if you are using an Intel Mac as it was designed for the PPC chip. Therefore you will not get as much speed as you will if you upgrade to CS3, which will work on both PPC and Intel Macs natively. In short, the answer is no. To get better performance upgrade to CS3.
