Actually the Intel version are faster IF your application is not running in emulation mode. That being said, there are not a lot of applications that are nativly supporting the Intel chip. Which is the primary reason I want to compile GIMP. I will say this IMac is faster then my P4 3ghz Suse Linux box at work when I am using applications that are native. 4x faster is unrealistic, I would say maybe 1.5 - 2x's faster then the G5. > carol > > > _______________________________________________ > Gimp-user mailing list > Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU > https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user > _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
