Hi there,

A clients dual 2.5 G5 recently broke down (supposedly cooling fluid leaked on to the motherboard ?). They had 3.4 PRO running on that machine. Getting it repaired is about as expensive as buying a new dual core 2.0 G5. According to this MacWorld article, the new dual core G5 machines can be compared with their 2.0 and 2.3 dualprocessor predecessors. It seems I need a machine faster than that, as the previous 2.5 was 'barely' able to run all the layers. It seems though with the new PCIexpress system there's a gain in speed for graphic cards. As I'm not exactly sure where the bottlenecks in catalyst performance are, my question : are these two dualcore machines fast and stable enough to run Catalyst 3.4 Pro ? Anyone ?

Thanks for the help,

Gideon
