Hello Apple people,
sorry if this is the wrong list for these questions, but:
with the announcement of the Intel machines, it would appear that the G5 is now
something of a dead-end, as the Intel CPUs are still 32bit arhitecture? I will
be starting work on some new plugin projects in a few months time, and had been
planning to get a new G5 iMac for this, which would kill 2 birds with the
proverbial - new Tiger-based machine, and also a 64bit platform, while retaining
my current iMac on Panther. Now, the only future-proof route would seem to be an
Intel iMac, but I then have no Mac 64bit platform, with no indication there ever
will be such a beast in the short/medium term (and presumably Apple will never
indicate such a thing in advance anyway...). I wonder how fully supported the
CAF format is on Intel Macs, for >4GB files - can anyone cast any light on this
point?
Still baffles me why Apple didn't prefer AMD...
