They, say Paralles runs at about 80% speed of a comparable PC. I'd
suggest using Boot camp. But those will only word on the Intel Macs,
not the quad G5 which is still Power PC. The next iteration of the
desktops is rumored to have the next generation Xeon dual core chip.
I don't know what they are called or when they might be released.
Also, can PhotoShop use more than two processors? Why not a dual core
G5 with a lot of RAM and some fast hard drives for the scratch and
data drives? It'll probably cost less and leave you with enough for a
good PC. Right now aren't the AMD Opterons running more efficiently
(performance vs. clock cycles) than the Pentium D, P4 or Xeon?

It's time for me to replace my aging Windows box, and I'd like to
upgrade to a Quad Mac G5 Intel box. Most of my day is spent in CS2,
and it seems until Adobe releases CS3, I'm better off running CS2
on windows.
Has anyone had experience running Photoshop on Windows XP via
Parallels on an Intel Mac?
My big concern is that I work with large files (average 500 meg),
and most of the testing reports seem to be vague regarding the file
sizes being used.
Please feel free to respond off list if you think it's more
appropriate.
