installation in mac

[Anonymous]

I downloaded the MAC student version of graphisoft, however when i go to install it, it says that it can not be downloaded on this platform.

Just wondering what this means and if there is anyway around it?

Cheers!

Please give more info. Such as PPC or Intel, etc.

Hi Matthew, thanks for your reply, it's intel based core duo, is there any other info you need?

Cheers:)

Check the install instructions in the knowkedge base on this site - there is a known issue with the install prog and "mac-tel" systems. Basically you have to install on a PPC mac and copy the folder over the network to your system.

Yup, like he said. The program runs fine in Rosetta though (as fast as WinXP). Of course it's much faster in the Mactel beta. (GLEE)

matthew - i'm finding AC10 under rosetta to be markedly sluggish and prone to crash often . . . (but maybe that was what you meant by "as fast as WinXP"??!! )

oh yeah!

Ooops! You're right. I was thinking of AC9. (I've almost forgotten what it was like - seems so long ago now.) That was as fast on Rosetta as on XP (except for LightWorks which only ran on a single core in emulation).

I have found the Mactel version of 10 to be quite a bit faster than it is in XP (almost double the rendering speed). Not that this machine is any slowpoke at running Windows. It was much faster than the brand new HP 2GHz Pentium M machines we used in a training session today.

You're running XP aren't you Ben? Have you done any time trials?
