| G5 and Illustrator/InDesign Anyone know how well the G5 will do with Illustrator and InDesign? Apple is always showing Photoshop scores, but I've always noticed that my machine runs the 2 aforementioned programs very slowly in comparison when dealing complex [vector] gradients and transparency. Thanks in advance for the feedback. J  |

| Whiz! Zoom! *Poof* I speculate it will make the above noises when running those programs because it will be so quick, and stuff will be jumping out of the Dock the entire time.

| I hope. In OS 9, it all works reasonably well. OSX has some major graphics memory overhead that eats lots of memory ad runs these programs like 3 legged dogs on my machine. Maybe I hook up the pocket firewire drive to a G5 at the Apple Store and test it from that. Wish me luck. Will report back. J |

| For me at least...<G>...G3 300mhz to DP 2ghz G5....BIG jump in speed there. From what I've seen of it, it should run everything better than the G4. Though, I doubt it'll get as large of an increase with ID2 than you would see with PS7. ID2 seems a bit buggy if you ask me, even on the WinTel platform. With ID3 on the way, I doubt we'll see much done to fix ID2.

| I would think ID3 would be a fix for ID2, at least for those able to upgrade. J: That's a good idea. Test ID and Ill on a G5 if you can access one, and if they're up to snuff, then the choice is yours to buy one.
