We recently got 2 new FW800 G4's for our studio! Hooray! Their arrival was highly anticipated and overly exciting! Thanks CC!
They arrived last week and have been working great ever since. The users are very happy to have "switched" back to Macs.
But, we've been testing Maya 5.0 on them and have found a dissappointing reality.
The system bus is TOO small. At 167 Mhz, the bottlenecking is much greater than I anticipated. We find rendering test scenes to be slow. Even my G4 Digital Audio renders Maya scenes twice as fast as the new ones. Funny, huh?
That is the only mark against these new beauties; otherwise, everything else is magnificent!
Ciao for now!
