To tackle this problem, MacTech undertook a huge benchmarking project starting in December. The goal was to see how VMF2 and PD4 performed on different levels of Mac hardware, using XP, Vista, 64-bit, multi-procs, etc...

neil Neil Ticktin Registered: 06/05/08 Posts: 1077 Loc: Westlake Village, CA	Thanks for the note. In the end, this project was massive ... simply massive ... I cannot convey to you well how massive! So, to add anything more to it would have been painful because of the time spent. But, I do appreciate the comments. Thanks!
