Matchless Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Today at a session one of the guys told me he turned his single processor G4 into a dual processor. Any of you guys heard about this? One of his buddies who works for Protools told him of the mod and how to do it and that this was a better move performance wise than wasting his $ on a G5.

gdoubleyou Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Seeing that a single G5 1.8GHz is roughly the same performance as a dual 1.2GHz G4, and also has a faster bus, I doubt that he would get better performance than an iMac, wouldn't be able to touch a dual G5 performance wise. Also PTLE doen't take full advantage of dual processors. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchless Posted April 5, 2005 Author Share Posted April 5, 2005 According to the guys at Protools, the early G5s were inferior to the dual G4s. Don't know all the specs and don't care, but they did say the dual newer 2.5 G5s were the best thing if you had the $$ to blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
