A PC wont do it either, I just wanted to point out that having programs loaded into memory means jack.

Did you notice that there was a mix of Apple and PC software running simultaneously?
I use AutoCad for electrical design and it is in use when open. I don't do any 3D rendering with AutoCad. I also use Microsoft Project for project scheduling, I was also working on a Visio drawing because we are a data/comm contractor also.
I was trying to show that these are all PC programs running fine on my Mac. At the same time I was running some of my Mac movie making programs and other Mac software. You cannot show me a PC running PC programs and Mac programs at the same time.
My machine never bogs down, it handles all of these programs not just open but actually performing tasks when open.
Machine Name: Mac Pro
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3.0 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 7 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
I also have a lot of windows machines as well. I just prefer working on a platform that allows me to run whatever software I want.
