  CS3 on PPC Mac running poorly

  Posted by Aaron Neitz on July 19, 2007 at 8:49 pm

  Anyone else feel like CS3 is a real dog on their PPC Macs? The whole interface just seems laggy… and I don’t think it’s OpenGL – I typically always work in adaptive resolution.

  Haven’t tried it out on an Intel box yet.

  it wouldn’t be opengl related… mac cs3 doesn’t support opengl yet (neither ppc or intel versions).

  it doesn’t surprise me though, adobe’s ppc development has laggeed thier x86 development for many years now… i’m sure they’re hoping to not need a ppc version for cs4.

  Well maybe I was just psyching myself out… I’ve run some test with AE7 project files at it’s pretty much the same speed as before. But I bet now my Macbook Pro will smoke this aging G5

  It runs really fast on Intel Macs.
