Fast, Super Fast
December 1st, 2005 byOk, wow. Just picked up a Quad 2.5GHZ G5 Powermac for a project I’m working on at the Public Defenders office. GOOD GOD IS THIS MACHINE FAST!!! I mean like orders of magnitude faster than anything I’ve ever worked on, ever, anywhere. Wow.
I have a dual 2.0GHZ G5 with 5GB of RAM at home and that machine is no slouch. Rips through just about anything I throw at it. Chews up monster multi-layered photoshop files with cycles to spare. But that baby can’t hold a candle to the Quad with only 512MB of ram. It’s really that fast. Ah… hopefully my 16 hour epic work days will shrink down to a quicky 12. Lovely. Too bad I can’t take it home and put it to work on all these weddings I’ve been shooting.
