Hi everyone,
I am at the point buying an intel imac (because i am fed up with windows, what's new).
As an architect the adobe line is really a must for me (together with other software f.i vectorworks).
The problem is that i need adobe products to run fast. Universal binaries are on their way but no date is picked.
I would consider buying the mac now but there is a lot of 'contrary' speed info.For some Rosetta works fine, for others not.
i disregard the bootcamp option because i am REALLY fed up with windows.


My direct question is: Could someone of apple or adobe please do a comparative benchmarktest for adobe products using Rosetta for intel mac?

This way i could have hard facts, which makes it easy for me to decide buying an intel mac now or to wait (another year) for universal binary CS3 versions.

A lot of my 'windows' fellow architects struggle with the same dillemma and are all convinced they should take action to change their hardware and operating system.

Some of them have a medium to large architecture firm.(not me, i am small) Since changing a lot of computers is expensive some hard facts would be welcome.


Thanks in advance,
I hope i posted this in the right section. Excuse me if not, i am kind of new over here. Very nice and helpful forum by the way.
