The Fear - with full screen of the movie playing averaged about 50% CPU load and peaked at about 70%. I played all of the demos, no pops, crackles or glitches. I just installed it on a Power Mac G5 dual 2.7 Ghz with 8 Gb Ram and Leopard 10.5.8. But the current "Mayhem" processor is supposed to take the cake. Actually, the reviews I have read of the final PPC quad-core G5 (PCIe version) imply that it was even faster (for some applications) than the original Intel quad-core Mac Pro. Possibly Flextime, too, requires that extra zip that comes from having two cores inside the same CPU. I also noticed there is a product made by Celemony that has its own version of Flextime (Melodyne3 Studio) with a minimum processor of G5 "dual core" (i.e., the final PCIe G5 as opposed to the re-vamped Intel CPU based Mac Pro). And I think versions of ProTools 8.0.3 and later support Snow Leopard, but will not run on a PPC. You eventually will get locked out, once Apple recompiles the code, but right now it is still universal binary. Also check out that "6.4 to 9" thread for explanations why an Intel might be better. It's an amusing video of installing 9 on on a G5. I posted this link before, under another (12/17) thread titled "Jump to Logic 9 from 6.4"
