Holy fuckin shit.

Got my dual 2 g5 last week.. it's fast as hell.

Now i just upgraded to panther and WOW!

This apple is much faster than ANY pc i have ever used in my life.

Anybody else got their g5's yet?

Bex · 10-27-2003, 10:44 AM

Nope ... have never really used an apple for much. Long time ago in the early days of computers, but not lately at all.

Might have to check them out again.

Im sure its fast, but 2 things:

1. On what do you base your comparison.

2. Have you used a 3000$ PC built in the last month or so?

Thank you very much for making me cream myself.

I know what I'm asking Santa for this year. I won't get it, but I can certainly ask for it.

GigaChris · 10-27-2003, 04:54 PM

Nope I have a dual G4 500 I love it! I'm sure yours is smoking fast

gothweb · 10-27-2003, 04:57 PM

I have Panther on my Dual 800 G4, and I have to say... It's officially Snappier?.

gleem · 10-27-2003, 05:07 PM

To see your benchmark scores compared with other apple users, use this neat little freeware:
http://xbench.com

my dual 1 gig G4 went from a 120 score to a 134 when upgrading from 10.2.8 to Panther.

IF YOU UPGRADE TO PANTHER DONOT ACTIVATE "FILE VAULT"!!!

It will fuck your shit up!!

Pornwolf · 10-27-2003, 05:27 PM

Panther? Is it optimized for 64bit systems?

Lensman · 10-27-2003, 05:35 PM

We have our first one in the video dept.

<IMX> · 10-27-2003, 05:42 PM

I'm on Panther now looking at all the goodies.

Bind a mouse button to expose...you'll love yourself later. I just
put panther on my tibook, very very nice. We'll see how it does with full duplex usb audio now.

Hooper · 10-27-2003, 07:27 PM

it's all about f-9.

i have f-9 bound to the 3rd mouse button. i've never had a more useful utility in my life.

i'm gonna check out that benchmarker. looks cool.

one thing i've heard though. is that upgrading to panther is not nearly as good as a fresh install because there are some bugs in the upgrade. my laptop got fucked during the upgrade somehow. but after a fresh install. it's amazing.

get to try it...it's really cool and magnificent!

i have a friend who bought the 15 inch G4, and the pictures or movies are as clear as the glass!!

Diceman · 10-27-2003, 08:08 PM

I just got the exact same computer as you bro, G5 with the dual 2.0 proccessors, plus I upgraded to 2.5 GB of ram. I haven't upgraded to Panther yet, but I'm going to this week. This thing kicks ass already, I can't see how it will get any better though.

thats a nice amount of ram

Hooper · 10-31-2003, 07:27 AM

wow. 2.5 gigs. nice!

advice though, DONT UPGRADE... it is has had a lot of reported problems and it for some reason leaves your system slower than it started.

When you do the install, backup your shit and then do a clean install of panther and it'll flyyyyyyy!
