    Speed Gains are relative to were your starting from.

    Old computer G4 dual 1.25 Ghz AE 7 ok’ish.

    MacPro 2.66 Ghz and X1900T Video card AE 7 Better.

    MacPro 2.66 Ghz X1900T Video card Motion Much Better.

    XP via Bootcamp? God Why. (McDonalds drive thru in a Jaguar- again God Why)

    After Effects 7.0 does not (yet) natively support the Intel Mac. It’ll run but don’t expect any miracles ( speedwise) until Adobe releases the upgrade to Universal.
    I’m running AE 7.0 on an Intel Mac and a Dual Processor G4. Intel beats Dual…but as I said, don’t expect any huge speed improvements.

    I have 2 set-ups and 2 licences for After Effects. One Mac the other PC.

    I run a G5 2.5 Ghz Quad 4 GB RAM and AE 7, as well I just purchased a MacPro 2.6 Quad Core Xeon with 2GB RAM and installed XP and After Effects.

    The MacPro running XP blows away the G5 Quad for sheer processing speed.

    I only wish I had bought my Nucleo Pro licence for Windows.
