VW 12 & 11.5 on my Intel iMac

[Welby Barentsen]

Got a 20" Intel iMac this morning. Installed both VW12 and 11.5 via firewire transfer from my G5 20" 2.0 iMac. Have only spent an hour or so but both programs run under Rosetta just fine. They run somewhat slower than on the G5, seem to run about the same speed as on my old Titatnium G4 powerbook. As I said above I have not checked a lot of operations, simply opened a couple of cabin designs in each and rendered, deleted some items, inserted some symbols, xported jpeg images. Simple things like that. I have been looking at other applications as well so will get more into VW later. In general am very impressed with the native Apple programs,especially iPhoto. And safari is really fast. MS Office came over just fine and though slower to boot runs very nicely. Photoshop 7 runs well, slower, but seems stable. Google earth is fine, VPC of course does not run at all. This iMac is really quiet--so far I like it.

thanks for the update. Keep them coming. Interesting about the slower renderworks renders though
