Running Aperture on MacBook Pro

[wuk519]

Hi all,

Has anyone tried to run Aperture on the Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with 2G memory? I am considering buying a MacBook Pro, but not sure the Aperture performance on it. Thanks.

Aperture I believe is already universal it should run very fast.

and its a free upgrade if u have the ppc version

The UB is not quite out yet. It still says that it's scheduled for March so anytime soon...

The PPC version will not run on the macbook pro. Try adobe lightroom in the meantime (not as good, but good enough)

aperture requires a lot of processing power?

I was reading the Aperture reviews from different sites, it appears to me that Aperture requires a lot of machine power, if that is the case, would the new MPB be able to handle that? I am talking about thousands of RAW format here....

in the end, it comes down to how much ram you can fit in there. The macbook pro maxes out at 2G, if you mainly just want to run Aperture, then get a DUAL G5 with 8G of ram...

Yeah.... mobility is what I am looking for... but I can give up the performance as well (at least it needs to maintain a reasonable performance).

I meant " I can't give up the performance"

why don't you try out adobe lightroom first, and see if it is to your liking?

Do you already have a copy of Aperture? I'm pretty sure there's a crack floating around out there which disables the CPU checks done by Aperture so that it can install and run on lower spec G4 machines etc. This would probably let it run under Rosetta. It should be usable, just nothing spectacular. Yet.

Aperture makes heavy use of the Altivec engine, it wouldn't be usable under Intel cpus

do you recall what this crack is called? and where I might be able to find it....

The Universal version is out this month, and I can't wait.
I bought the PPC version for my intel iMac (before I realised it was a PPC version)
so I currently have a store credit note to pick up the Universal version....that bit of paper is burning a hole in my pocket!
