I guess to upgrade to CS5 we need intel Macs.
We have 2-G5 right now. I wondering what are best configuration would
be for our shop? Just want to see if anyone would care to give an opinion. What we can get by with
or should we go all out for the future. Funds are limited with the economy right now. What to make the right decision.
We're a commercial shop 2- 40" and 28"
We don't do much design work.
We manipulate PDF (pitstop) and Illus. but basically just preflight and slap them in a layout.
Haven't bought equipment in along time.
Should a shop like ours go with:
the Quad-Core or 8-core; what the difference the Quad has 2.66GHz and the 8-core has2.26 standard; which is faster?
Memory: we don't want to hang up in Illus or Photoshop or Acrobat/Pitstop.
what would be a reasonable for that? 16GB? and aagain what would be the difference between the quad and 8-code?
Graphics Card:
We preflight large Illustrator/photoshop/acrobat files and don't want to get hung up. What's a reasonable soltion here. What should we think about when deciding?
We want speed. If we need to keep the cost down we need to righ configuration to easily expand them.
thanks
