How much RAM did it have?mishi said:my friend works in a studio and they recently got one of the "quad" (dual, dual-cure) G5s. i had the luck of being able to use it. so i was thinking of somthing i could do to benchmark it. so i rememberd benchmarking my PB 17" on this photoshop test. naturally he already had photoshop installed to i went and downloaded the stuff for the test. anyway i ended up taking 18 seconds on average. i tried it 3 times one was 19 and the others were 17.

Jason Bourne said:Four reasons:
1) Wanted the headroom. I'd like it to still be fast in 1-3 years.
2) Wanted to use a 30" ACD - so no iMac for me
3) There is something about owning the "best" product when possible. Certain things I can't afford the best of (cars, houses) but for smaller expenses (computers, guns, watches, cell phones, ipods, TVs, clothes, etc...) I don't mind spending more. So, for at least 6 months, I'll have the best mac.
4) One of my friends got one and I got jealous![]()
