I'm running Flash 8 on a 15" Powerbook 1.5 GHZ with 1.5 GB no
problem. I'm also running Flash 8 on a 5 (almost 6) year old G4
tower dual 450GHZ with 2GB of ram.
Are you being nice to your mac? De-fragmenting the hard-drive,
running cron, fixing permissions... does your hard drive have at
least 20% available free space? Also if you run multiple apps all
day (like I do) restarting once or twice during the day to clear the
virtual memory helps.
Email me off list if the problem continues.

I have run Flash on Mac's since version 2, and I have never had
cause to complain about performance.. The player performance before
8 left a lot to be desired, but the IDE has always been fine. The
8 IDE runs beautifully on my Dual 2.0ghz G5., and the 8 player/
plugin is a huge improvement.
These days RAM is more likely to be a bottleneck for performance
than the processor.... I have 1.5gigs and miss the extra bit i had
on my old Mac(G4).

Hey there,
Sorry if this hardware question is a bit off topic but it is
getting to be a real nightmare for me. I switched to a Mac about 4
years ago and have since used a Power Mac G4 500, a Ti Power Book,
an eMac for a bit while a machine was in the shop (one of the bad
screen ones), an iMac G4 1.25GHz and now i am using am iMac G5
(1.8GHz, 1G RAM).
I find that the Flash IDE is terribly slow on OS X and pretty much
brings the machine to its knees even if it is the only thing
running. The G5 I have now I am wondering if it is having some of
the associated power supply and main board problems that are
cropping up now with this model. The fan runs almost constantly if
i am running Flash IDe, converting Video to FLV, etc.
Basically, how is the IDE working for everyone else out there? Are
Windows users fairly happy with performance, responsiveness? What
about the Mac users? Anyone finding things a tad too slow for them?
Thanks for any input.
