Your QS has a benchmark rating of 857.
As another poster stated, stay with the 2.3GHz G5, air cooled, it has
a benchmark of 1967, about 2.3X your current QS.
Can't say that sounds a lot faster ... with the increased bus speed of
the G5, you'd think it would register faster than what seems to be a
cpu speed factor ... I wonder if the QS was using an SATA drive off a
PCI card like I do, and would show a better comparison between
machines? That might even narrow the gap though, if they are not, and
it is factored into the benchmark.
Any one else have suggestions on a reasonably priced upgrade? Does
Rosetta work well, so that if I went Intel, I could still run all my
PPC apps? I know very little about the Rosetta idea. The Dual 2.3 GHz
G5 sounds like the upper limit for PPC.
My art business is a bit slow in the Sales Department ...
Thanks for all the suggestions so far ... I decided to switch my DA
for my QS by trading hard drives and video cards ... using the QS now
for my daily work, and my DA for my display / connection to my LED TV.
Speed was not important to the TV and the QS is noticeably faster for
my daily music and visual arts work.
