OK, three days back I finally got a dual 800 G4 Quicksilver (it was a damn struggle to get that thing!) and I am working on it for some time now.
But I have a little problem under OS X. The OS does not use the processors as it should. Example: when I render in Cinema 4D XL R7.1, both processors are only used to about 70%. This is not what I except. When I render something, I want them to be used as much as possible. Under classic, everything is fine, but not under OS X!
First I thought the unofficial 10.1 I am running (no comments on that, please) might be the reason, so I made a new, clean install of 10.0.3 and updated it to 10.0.4. Still....processor heavy apps only use the processor up to 70%. Both the top command and the processor load display show this. When I called Apple, they guy tried to tell me that this is not possible. But well....it happens here! I asked him if this would be a reason to return the Mac. His answer was that when they can confirm the error, yes, but as soon as they install MacOS 9.2, they will tell me it can't be hardware....so, does ANYBODY have a similar problem? I want those missing 1/3 of processing power under OS X!!!
