I have run that program on a Dual 1GHz G4 and it ran reasonably well.

I should imagine that will will perform admirably on an Intel Core Duo iMac.

or perhaps an Apple Store where you can see for yourself?

Would you expect the latest Apple-produced software to not run efficiently on the latest Apple hardware?

moreover i was concerned that the hardware couldnt cope, i tried to run aperture on my powerbook G4 1.67 ghz with 2 gb of ram and it lags allll the time. At least the trial did, and i was curios as to whether the software would run only on machines such as the g5 quad or the mac pro
