Re: [Finale] iMac i7 issues?
Hi Chuck and Eric D., Thanks for the input. Chuck: it's good to hear that your core i5 is doing the job for you. We've been looking at i5s too, and will probably go that route, as they are easier to get over here and are a little less expensive than the i7s. Eric D.: My concerns were based less on the new iMacs in general, which are quite probably as insanely great as (almost) everything from Apple. My worry was about the (usually) unforeseeable gotchas that my Mac experience tells me sometimes appear when a new generation of processors meets up with a new (or old) app. Have the good people at MM tested their products on the new machines? Who knows. But there's always someone in the blogosphere who's sure to know, so thanks for the all clear ... and for the tip about the RAM. Eric F.

No gotchas. Just good stuff. As for MakeMusic testing stuff.who knows On May 30, 2010, at 1:45 AM, Eric Fiedler wrote: Hi Chuck and Eric D., Thanks for the input.

[Finale] iMac i7 issues?
Hello all, Is there anyone out there with one of the new Core i7 iMacs who has been having any serious issues with Finale 2010? We are seriously thinking about biting the bullet and retiring our ancient trio of 10- year-old (!) G5 towers and replacing them with something from the 21st century, and the latest iMacs have been getting a pretty good press ... and are a lot cheaper than the Mac Pros.

Re: [Finale] iMac i7 issues?
Dear Eric, I have a 27 i5, and it is fast and stable. Not sure the i7, which was not available locally when I bought this machine, is significantly faster with Finale. Anyway, no problems.

Re: [Finale] iMac i7 issues?
Why would there be serious issues with the new iMacs? I haven't heard a peep about any problems, and I frequent about 10 Mac devoted sites in addition to sites like Engadget.. I'd say, whatever you get, get lots of RAM. Using sampled sounds without enough ram will make even a Mac Pro slow to a crawl. At least 4 gigs if not Maxed out. I'd recommend MacSales.com as a good, cheap source of ram with lifetime warranties (and I had to use my warranty recently, and they were perfect) On May 29, 2010, at 2:04 PM, Eric Fiedler eric.f.fied...@t-online.de wrote: Hello all, Is there anyone out there with one of the new Core i7 iMacs who has been having any serious issues with Finale 2010?
