- I bought this video card to speed up Aperture on my G5 tower, and it has more than doubled the speed of the app. A photo with lots of adjustments, particularly spot healing, still bogs down everything, though. I took off one stare for the fan noise. It's not overly bad or obtrusive, but it can be heard constantly when the G5's fans are at their lowest setting.
- I'd like to add that the X800 XT for Mac worked wonderfully (once I received a working replacement from ATI) with my G5-2.0 using Tiger, but now upon upgrading to Leopard the fans are a little louder (noticeable but not terrible), and I periodically get a flash of green or pink on my entire 30" Cinema Display screen when trashing a file or closing a window or application. This may only be a problem with the combination of G5-Leopard-30" Apple Cinema Display.Ivor
