And I want to buy an apple, just as I have had for my last seven computers, beginning with an apple IIC.
Thing is... I'm a grad student in architecture now, and I'll be using ALOT of computer imaging and modeling programs.
Some programs I'll be using:
3D autocad
rhino
illustrator
surfcam
and many more i forget the names of...
See my problem? I'll be using a fair amount of programs available only for windows.
questions:
are these programs very processor intensive? will a new dp powermac run virtual pc fast enough to not feel like an idiot running 3d modeling and perhaps even 3d animation?
should I get two computers? two desktops? a new powermac to compliment my ibook, and a used laptop pc?
any architecture people have any solutions?
thanks,
r.
