Buy a G5 of Make Quicksilver better

It's the usual dilemma but I have yet to find a stright answer for it. I want to be able to run Motion 2 on my Quicksilver but in order to do so I will have to upgrade my video card. the other option, of course, is to buy a decent G5. What will be the difference in performance between the two options?

The GPU (graphics card) is much much much more essential to the performance of Motion than the CPU. There are those here with Quicksilver class machines and decent graphics cards (ATI 9800) that get better performance out of Motion than Dualie G5's with the stock (FX 5200) card...
As to GFX card specifics, search is your friend:

    If you can wait about a 3 months after 10.8 is released this summer and upon new hardware you should be in excellent shape to have not only a fastest latest machine, but a OS X version that all the bugs have been worked out. Plus the three free months of Apple hand holding while they figure out what they did wrong with the new OS version.
    If you need a new machine now you'll have to get what you need obviously, but 10.8 should run on it just fine. However know that Apple tweaks things with more currently sellling hardware first, then later gets to the previous released models.
    It's been my guestimation that your good for about two year old hardware with very recent OS X release, three years or older hardware you may want to reconsider sticking with the previous OS X version as your hardware is getting dated and likely has only a year left to go anyway (4 year average), so why bother mucking it up, slowing it down and having to buy all new/updated software and third party hardware because they won't make drivers for your new OS version?

    Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS read files. Copies that would take seconds from a Windows based machine never complete. I have to close the transfer or shut off the machine half the time. Worst computer I have EVER owned, crashes non-stop, constantly freezes, and seems like EVERY operation is more complicated with this thing. Literally, my 1997 Compaq was FAR MORE reliable and user friendly.

    This is one of the messages I keep getting; The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in -- File Whatever -- can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)
    I have copied things to the hard drive in the past, but it has always been incredibly slow, and now just seems to freeze and fail

  • How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

    How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

    If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document. 
    As Murray said, Flash is dead.  Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

  • Hi, I would like to buy a power mac G4 quicksilver and install the latest hardware i.e. i5, SSD etc., is this possible?

    Hi, I would like to buy a power mac G4 quicksilver and install the latest hardware i.e. i5, SSD etc., is this possible?

    Intel i5 processor upgrade? No way, no how with the OEM PPC board.
    The "Latest" hardware that can be used with the original G4 motherboard is imited to used 7445/7447/7448 3rd party processor upgrades (all obsolete), PCI expansion, AGP graphics (only used as all are obsolete), new IDE drives (capacity support dependant on model year) and PC133 memory.
    SATA and SSD can be used, but only with PCI SATA controllers or the specially configured IDE modded SSD from OWC.
    PCI controllers will get you about SATA 1 data rates. The adapted SSD on IDE won't get beyond 60 MB/s.
    You could use the case and put a mini ITX or micro ATX board in to support the i5. Of course you could then run Windows 7. If you want to run OS X, discussion ends here and begins your use of Google and searching for "x86" and "Hackintosh".

  • Free dvd maker is better than encore cs4

    Hi Forum,
    OS: Win Vista Ultimate 64bit

    I was able to create a motion menu, slide show and advd with encore cs4. i could play the dvd on pcs and normal dvd player on the tv.
    But: Slide Show and all Movies are flickering. Menu also.
    Than i tryed Windows DVD Maker (Free when you have Ultimate Vista).
    I used there absolutely the same videos and photos. Result: Slide show and video quality was perfect and without flickering problems.
    I spent a lot of money and o can not believe that this free tool dvd maker is better than encore cs4.
    so please help me to solve this problem.
    I really don't know what i could try.
    Thank you and see you soon.

    They will only be where you put them.  They do not magically appear in new places.
    Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

  • How to make sound better quality?

    So I exported a preview of my animation but the sound isn't high quality. How can I make it better quality? It doesn't sound like when I press Enter in Flash CS5.

    Go to the publish preferences and see what bit rate is set for the compression of the audio. Be sure to check both stream and event.

  • TS1424 I usually listen to a full 30 seconds of a song if I think I want to buy it just to make sure. All of a sudden I am only getting a 5 second clip so I've stopped buying for now. Ideas?

    I usually listen to a full 30 seconds of a song if I think I want to buy it just to make sure. All of a sudden I am only getting a 5 second clip so I've stopped buying for now. Ideas?

    Depending on which country's store you are in, the previews are supposed to be either 30 or 90 seconds. 
    The last few days there have been several posts here that they are not getting the full preview.  There is certainly no setting to control that, so I suppose the problem is at the store. 
    My suggestion is to try again in a few days, or to purchase from another online music download retailer.

  • Which makes a better DVD? Dynamic link or Encoder?

    Which makes a better DVD?—to use the adobe dynamic link on a sequence in the project panel…
    or to export to a file with the Adobe Media Encoder and then import into the Encoder?
    If the latter, does it make a difference if I export from Premiere to an H264 or using the MPEG2-DVD option?
    It would be simpler to burn to an H264 because that is the same file type that I upload to Youtube.
    (Since MPEG2-DVD creates separate video and audio files, I assume they are not uploadable to Youtube…)
    Thanks for any advice you can give.
    [Font corrected.]
    Message edited by Jim Simon

    Export from Premiere with mpeg2-dvd.
    Import the two files in Encore.
    Make menu and burn.
    If you use H.264 it gets re-encoded in Encore.
    If you want to upload to YT with mpeg2 just set the Multiplexer to ON. H.264 is a better choice for YT.

  • How could I make Siri better?

    On the Siri official page, Apple states that Siri gets better by learning owners' accent.
    Here comes the question: how does Siri get better?
    I mean, once you used Siri and found the words are slighty off from what you actually said.
    Most people might just launch Siri again and re-spoke the sentence again until Siri finally got what they wanted.
    Is Siri able to learn the accent from this action?
    Siri sometimes got wrong on certain names especially they're ones Nickname and probably not even a complete word.
    Then Siri tried to make the whole senetence logical by changing the entire sentence which will result something completely off the original given command.
    Anyone knows how to make Siri better and more personalized?

    I'd suggest:
    1) don't have setNumeratorr and setDenominator methods. Make the numerator and denominator final fields in Rational. That is, make each Rational instance immutable.
    2) Give Rational a constructor that takes two longs. One is the numerator and the other is the denominator. The constructor removes common factors between the two and stores the values in their most reduced form.
    3) The add method can probably be cleaned up give (2).
    4) Don't name the argument to add "object". Of course it's an object. Call it "operand" or even just "other".

  • Helping make MoleHill better

    Hi Everyone,
    I would like to thank everyone for trying out the two Incubator builds we have released over the past few months.  Your input and feedback has been invaluable in making MoleHill the awesome feature it will one day be.  I say one day because we are still hard at work fixing the bugs and issues you report!
    To further aid this process I ask that everyone try the Zombie Tycoon demo game found here http://molehill.zombietycoon.com/
    With each new release of the Incubator build.  If you encounter any issues please click the link 'Rendering Issues or Crashes?' at the bottom which will submit the information to myself and the Dev team to track down GPU specific problems.
    In addition to trying the Zombie Tycoon game, I am always scanning the forums here, and many many of the posts have been very helpful as well.  So if you find an issue that isn't specific to the Zombie Tycoon game please post here or in another thread.  I'm listening!
    Thank you once again, and happy gaming!
