It will never die!

anyone with a macpro tested yet?

From what I have been told and heard, Photoshop CS 2 will run sloweron the Macpros as it isn't optimized to run on the new Intel chips. Probably the next version will run at the speed it should be running.

yes i know.. but i am still interested to know how the macpro performs with non-native software (and then if the results are good, look forward to the native version of PS).

PS CS2 crawls on my puny 1.83ghz macbook with 1.5GB RAM hahaha

just contributing to this ever-undying thread. anyone curious about Intel Core2 6600/2GB RAM O'ced performance?

 

[ortega]

run windows and windows version PS CS2 on the macbook and test

I tried on mine. dunno if i have done it correctly. it's 30sec. :bigeyes:

i am using PS CS2 30-day Tryout as I am using Gimp.
(I got 28-day left to try out.... I can test again for a while only)

I got it at exactly 1 min 06 secs running the tests 3 times. :bsmilie:

My specs as follows:
PS CS2
Pentium Core 2 Dual 1.86mhz
2GB DDRII SDRAM 800mhz
320GB SATA II HDD
GeForce 7300 GT 256MB

Running the usual programs like Outlook, Windows Explorer, IE, MSN Messenger, Anti-virus, etc.

For those running Norton Anti-virus 2006 with less than 1GB of RAM, try disabling it for a test. I have installed this version on several early P4 PCs & Notebooks and observe a significant lag in the system after installation.

81 secs. i got an asus notebook with intel dual 1.6 ghz.. 512 mb of ram.. intregated video card..

when it was processing, i opened the task manager.. i could see that the memory in use was only 453 mb only.. i guess i settled wrong setting.. hihihi

That's really quite fast. Maybe you could run the test again and reconfirm.

well no matter wat it's still a quad core. would be even faster when PS becomes native to the mac?

I tested a few times. This is what I got. Is it supposed to look like this? Note: this is a resized for web display.

 

[jOhO]

yeah looks right..

 

[jOhO]

paul, which macpro is yours? the 2.66mhz quad?

 

[Ashleyy]

It shld be correct. I took me 1 min 6 secs for a Core2 Dual 1.86 whereas it took about 2mins for a Pentium D.. So Quad shld perform better than 1min

 

[Paul_Yeo]

paul, which macpro is yours? the 2.66mhz quad?

I am using the 2.0 ghz quad, 1gb ram. :embrass:

 

[pierceteo]

My iMac 2.16ghz Intel Core 2 Dual did it at 1min 15sec
