Hi all, this is my first post, looks like a great site
I am a traning illustrator in my second year. The main programs I use are, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design | Macromedia Director | Lightwave & FormZ.
Now at the moment I do most of my work on my Pentium4 PC, but i want to switch to a mac for a few reasons, (im not here to debate which are better )
My main problem is deciding what to get for now....(In 4 months I am going to work for a major company who use the latest G5 machines fully spec'ed up to the t!ts, and im pretty sure I can order a machine through the company with a discount)
I am thinking about getting a DP 1.25 | 1.42 G4 unit or a 1.6 G5...which would offer better performance for my sort of stuff? I would have thought one of the DP machines just on shear clock spead and brute force?
Sorry for the length of the thred, hope you can offer me some good opinions!
Thanks
