Make Apple Aperture Go Faster
tow.com has a vey useful article for all MAC users who own a Dual-Core G5 PowerMac with the Nvidia 6600 graphics card and who want to run Apple Aperture more quickly.

As you might know, the stock 6600 video card that many Dual- Core, Quad-Core PowerMac owners purchased last year is dog slow when running CoreImage intensive applications like Aperture. The 7800GTX makes the program sing compared to the 6600. I’ve posted some videos demonstrating the differences between the two cards on my website.”
