Slow interface speed in OSX?

[Fish-MD]

a 3d card helps alot, the officaly supported ones are the quadro and firegl seriers. I also belive some 3d labs and matrox cards r supported.

Id go for a quadro (not too sure if u can on a mac).

If not, nvidia cards work better in maya compared to ati radeons.

10.3 supposedly fixes alot of graphics issues in opengl according to the hardware docs on alias' site. Also your using an 800mhz box which isnt exactly the fastest machine out there.

I'm using a dual 867 with maya 5.01 and it works well under os 10.2 but 10.3 has some bugs crawling to the surface that STILL haven't been corrected by apple or alias.
I have no problems with speed or interface and everything seems to work really well considering.
Basically alias hasn't compiled maya for optimal use on the mac
the've delegated Mac users to the bottom of the pile.
Go for Linux!!
