I just learned by chance that Carrara 5.1 has been updated to UB. This is huge for us how already got Intel based Macs. I am planning on buying another one this next spring (Mac Pro), but for now I can use my wives MacBook to aid in rendering. It is almost twice as fast if not more then my aging G4.

It works and it works very well indeed. That MacBook renders so fast that even though it needs to send the data back to my computer it delivers almost at the same pace then my G4. Apple really pulled this one off. They are completely compatible. Probably Eovia had started in the port to UB because I bet it was not easy to recompile all that code. I don't think the Carrara team had time after moving to Daz to pull this off. This is very good news for Mac users like my self that are in-between processors at the moment. Now I have 4 processors for rendering. Yeah!!
