The purchase of a new 2009 8 core Mac pro
19 April 09 - Back
In March Apple released their newly configured Mac pro. I decided last year that when the new version came out it would be time to upgrade my old 2.1 G5 iMac. Which I have done.
I purchased the Mac Pro 8 core 2.66 with 6Gigs of Ram. I also purchased the 24 inch apple display and for a second screen the 22 inch samsung T220-HD, Which was one of the things that I was unable to do on my G5 iMac. This now leaves me lots of screen space to open panels up in when using final cut pro and adobe programes in.
My first thought was that it wasn’t as fast as I thought it was going to be. Although apps seem to open twice as fast compared to my G5 iMac, I half expected photoshop for example to open in about 2 seconds. And complex custom brushes in photoshop are still slugish.
I also had all my apps upgraded I now own the adobe CS4 master collection along with along with the updated final cut pro apps. I’ve still not had much time to play around with the new apps but the adobe CS4 collection seems much improved espesically photoshop with its now rotating canvas.
