evil_santa said:Ok on the same G5 D2.7ghz 2.5gb ram 2x250Hd,
PS 7 = 45sec as posted earlier
PS CS2 Demo = 39sec
I was told that CS2 was optimized for G5s, that works out at about 15% thats incredible
I get the same result on my dual 2.7 with CS2. 39 secs (ran it 3 times, same result each time).
the rest: 4Gb ram, ati x800xt, proc. perf. set to 'highest'.
peace,

OS 10.4.3
768 MB Ram
80 GB HD (but only 4.8 GB free; I've been swapping like a bandit lately)
I did reboot and kill all background proc's before running this.
Is anyone planning to compile these?
Best,

Here's what I got with my eMac:

eMac 1.25GHz Combo (Oct. 2004)
768MB DDR RAM
40GB 5400rpm HD (20.1GB free)
OS X 10.3.9
Adobe Photoshop CS
Seems like my eMac was sped up by just a couple of seconds from when I last tested it (I think it was around 2:35). Not bad; keeping up with most of the PowerBook G4's!

1m 39s on my iMac 2.1Ghz 20 inch with 1GB Ram
Haven't tried after a restart, I closed all my programs before testing but I know I have a lot of Widgets that are loaded up so the restart might help a bit

Yeah, I bought an additional 2GB of RAM about two weeks after I purchased it. Forgot to update my sig.Platform said:You have a good system too...but treat it with some RAM....QUAD G5 with 512megs
Eithanius said:jeezzz.... can this be close to that of a low-end dualie G5s.....?
Seems so.
Timed it with a digital kitchen timer to the second. Fully justifies my purchasing decision at the time, particularly as I'm a print designer. Nice one, Apple.
Also had 10 or so apps open at the same time if that has any bearing on it.
The upgraded Cube got it done in - 1:31
Dual 1.5Ghz G4
1GB RAM
GeForce2 32MB
It's a pretty fast computer still, but that dang 100Mhz bus is a really big bottleneck. Oh well, it still rules!
Edit: Photoshop CD v8.0
Edit 2: Turned off folding, and got 1:29. Little better, but it's still no Quad G5!

Dang, beat out the Dual 1.5 Cube by 25 seconds! D'ya think it was the RAM dif (2Gb v 1GB) or the bus speeds that did it?

I feel inferior now.
My Quad with 4gb, 1TB, 7800GT did the test in 16secs. dammit
Why the hell does my 1.2GHz Cube with 1.25GB RAM take 3:21? I didn't think the Dual Processor would make that much difference. Or is it PS7 that's slowing it down?livingfortoday said:
