But you're the one who wants to see the benchmarks. If you really want to see them, go look up any processor benchmarks where dual-processors are pitted against single processors in applications that aren't optimized for multiple processors. The boost from the second processor is almost never large in these situations.
On the WinXP side, I'm certainly willing to take your word for this.
But you can CERTAINLY see a large boost in performance from a significantly better video card with applications that aren't optimized for multiple processors.
I have *never* seen any benchmarks anywhere that support this assertion when it comes to non-3D, non-video applications. I have only ever seen benchmarks that prove the opposite. Going beyond the GeForce 7300 GT on the Mac Pro will certainly improve 3D gaming performance, but it will not improve Finale performance one bit.
Do you really need benchmarks for that to seem plausible to you?
Yes, which is why I asked. - Darcy ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://secretsociety.typepad.com Brooklyn, NY _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
