Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Whew! You're brave.
I'm chicken about being the first to buy such a new generation of hardware. I'd worry about emulation speed for old programs unless you're fortunate enough to be able to have new binaries available.

Please do report back on how well it works.

Best of luck with it! It does sound like a screamer.

Cheers,
Scott.
New Not so brave as all that
Consider; I'm presently running the PPC-based software on a 500mhz G4 transplant. I'll shortly be running it emulated on a 2.0ghz Intel dual-core chip. Could it possibly be slower? If that's the case you won't have to wait for my report here: just listen for screams from the west.

cordially,
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
New Should be fast enough

the [Rosetta] performance of the iMac Core Duo seemed to be on par with a 1GHz Power Macintosh G4
That's twice as fast as he's used to now - plus the G4 they're talking about would have had a faster bus than his system with the upgraded CPU.
