Okay, after circling round and round and getting spotty information on the newest Mac Pros, perhaps I need a brief understanding of a single thread application and a multi thread application.
I do understand that many software apps just haven't been developed to maximize the processing power of a multi core machine (octo), however, for my education, tell me how these applications stack up, and how more memory would potentially affect their respective performance:
Application
Photoshop CS3 / CS4
Illustrator / Creative Suite
Rhino (3D modeling)
Alias (3D modeling, animation)
Maya(rendering / visualization)
After Effects
Aperture
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
