Oracle Financials Applications Specialists.I just realized all the new macs have the same 'core' specs. * 512MB (single SODIMM) of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 memory on 2.0GHz configuration and 1GB (single SODIMM) on 2.16GHz configuration two SODIMM slots support up to 2GB * Intel 2.0 or 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 2MB on chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed * 512MB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300) on two SO-DIMMs supports up to 2GB * Intel 1.83GHz or 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo processor As I am waiting for the next powermacs to get one as my main workstation (running windows ofacourse hehe) As i just want a machines I can take with me and be able to do 'some' work and HW.

Then again is your models are not going to be too complex, iwould go with it.Īs a matter of fact, if it wasnt for the spread out keyboard I would have gotten on my self. which is i think is the only difference? The screen pixel is not so much of an issue but the actuall video card. And a larger hard drive if you want to seriously use both OSes. You need more pixels and a faster video card. The next version of Max OS X (Leopard) will have Boot Camp or some sort of virtualization built-in, so this should make it a more seamless process. The virtualization software Parallels (running windows xp in a separate session within mac os X) doesn’t handle graphics very well, and has trouble with the licensing that Autodesk uses.Īlso note that Boot Camp is still a beta, so it's somewhat limited in it's 'refined' integration of drivers and power management, so be ready for some minor annoyances (heat, peripheral communication, etc.). You mention the Macbook, which is the cheaper plastic white or black version of the notebook which DOESN'T have a separate graphics card, so I would steer clear of that one for any serious 3D work. I don't think MAX should be much different than VI The 256MB graphics card works well, and the rendering/processing speed of the core duo is extremely zippy.

This is done by using Boot Camp and re-booting into windows.
