    OSX 64bit - when?

    so it seems that 64bit is a very long time away (in terms of full compatability). a shame really becuse it would be nice to see it, seeing as macs are fast becoming the system of choice in high end production...

    OSX 64bit - when?

    macavenger very inetersting stuff. Though I thought Tiger was 32bit? theres nothing suggesting that its 64bit anyway. Well its very good to hear that processor intensive applications, like the graphics apps I use, will benifit from 64bit. I just hope that Apple pull their finger out and start...

    OSX 64bit - when?

    ElDiabloConCaca - yeah I had read that link a while back, very cool, and it makes sense for Pixar to use OSX, but they said they dont use it for rendering or animation duties. which is basically the 3D bit. Thats what I want Apple to concentrate on, they have a lot of control over the 2D...

    OSX 64bit - when?

    very ineteresting stuff. As I said in an earlier post, OSX 64bit will not mean much when its first released, as not many applications will support this new architecture. I think we will be looking atleast at anothert 2 years until we have 64bit norm. The thing that gets me is, whats the point in...

    OSX 64bit - when?

    Ineteresting, so you wouldnt really get any speed advantages through a 64bit OS? what benifits does 64bit actually have, apart from being able to run more ram?

    OSX 64bit - when?

    yeah, I suppose I could run a Linux 64bit OS, but I prefer OSX, Im a 3D graphics professional, and I use Maya and Photoshop and After Effects quite a bit so my programs are very needy. In all truth, at work is where I do all my Maya stuff running on a boxx workstation under Linux, by the time I...

    OSX 64bit - when?

    I was wondering when the OS would be 64bit? I am interested in getting a G5 but dont see the point if all the applications are 32bit still... I've also heard that Windows will be 64bit very soon - surely Apple cant let that happen before them? I aslo suppose even after a 64bit OS becomes...

    what to do when the system crashes?

    It seems to have trouble opening the info when I click on show info for the hard drive, just hangs for ages. I really need more ram so Im gonna buy a 512 slot and maybe that will fix it cause I run photoshop and maya (3d animation) so I could do with a bit more, maybe?
