G3 Vs G4 - Interesting!

[cinecity]

Just thought we'd pass this along.
A little experiment was tried in our studio recently.
We had just purchased the new dual processor G4 - 500. We thought we'd check it out against our trusty G3 B&W.
Each had )S 9.04 installed/Both 256 MEGRAM

We installed:

2X Video cards running digital outputs
2X SGI LCD monitors
ATTO dual channel SCSI
MAGMA 7 SLOT

G4 results ( the only exception to the above
is the G4 will not accept 2X pCI video cards so we just connected one)So we could not get dual monitors going anyway. Only one.

PCI Buss errors galore with LAMP 4.5.1
#6042 (?) Couldnt run LAMP 4.5.1 and change screensets. AUdio always failed.
Some PCI Buss errors with ProTools 5.01
#6042/.
SCSI PCI buss errors as well.

G3

Worked with both monitors fine
No Buss PCI errors
SCSI worked fine
DUAL monitor 2X PCI worked fine.


Just thought we'd pass this along.
