Hi guys,
Out of interest, when using the monitor app to monitor processor usage. found in apps -> utilities -> activity monitor).
I was interested to see what cpu usage i was getting from a dual G5 2Ghz while encoding a cd to AAC 192 format.
What i saw was that both cpu's were typically kept about 50 to 60 usage with sometimes one at 80 and the other at 30.
Can the rest of you here post what type of processor usage you are getting when encoding to aac 192 in iTunes with your G5's, G4's etc...
thanks.
Incidentally its amazing iTunes is great for getting the fans to kick in!
