The new quad core stitched the images in 30mins. After when opening the file in photoshop I timed it and it opened in under 30 seconds. Not too shabby. The last stitch I did on my old G5 took about 2 hours. That file size was only around 500mb. And of course having 5 gigs of ram and a terrabyte on board helps!!! It’s a beautiful thing. Purchased it from Team digital Go see Trevor and tell him I sent you, he might buy me a beer too.
