I got a new MacPro 3 gigs or RAM, Aperture and FinalCut all at the same time and all I can say is WOW this baby is FAST. The only thing I want to add is a real kicka** video card, the one standard is very good, but I was told when I got the computer to get the upgrade as a lot of Apertures "work" is done on the video card. As I add more images and work on larger projects I can tell. Instead of the changes being instant they take about 1/2 a second to show up now. I got spoiled and want the extra speed. :) Plus I use two monitors so I figure a second card will only speed things up more. I really like this MacPro...I highly recommend getting one. : Jim Hemenway wrote: > Harrison: > > Is a G5 neccesary, or wor$e yet for me, a newer Intel based Mac? > > Jim > > > Harrison McClary wrote: > >> Yep...I have not used Lightroom, but I do use Aperture and love it. >> For me it is one of, maybe the single, best tools to come along for >> digital photography.
