Ana – As I said, I was surprised myself. I'm certain the 8100 in question had all native PPC applications, it's in the demo room where I work where the awesome power of the Power Mac is demonstrated to all who stick their faces in the door. It's very unlikely that there are any system extensions on it that slow it down. All I can think is that my local bus video lets the screen refresh significantly faster, even though the Radius LeMans is supposed to be fast. If I ran a filter on the image (KPT or Gaussian blur or something) I'd still expect the Mac to be faster, but I did not try that sort of operation. I was just doing color and greyscale corrections on various portions of the images I was working with. The 22MB greyscale image simply took longer to return to ready for each operation than on my 486/66. I don't know why. Our company is full of people who know how to set up an optimal Mac (including myself), but this was the first instance of using the *same* image on both platforms and comparing that I have witnessed. I simply report what I saw. David (shrugging) Taffet
