Support NeoGAF

Figured I may as well ask here since I know quite a few of you folks use Macs.

I have an 1Ghz G4, 1 gig of ram, running 10.3.7. Everything runs perfect except for one thing: Dreamweaver MX 2004. Anyone else have any problems with it? It takes forever to start up, and sometimes it just flat out refuses to do so. In such an instance I simply verify and repair disc permissions and that solves it, but I shouldn't have to do this so often.

Any thoughts?

I've got a G4 1.33 with 768MB RAM and DW MX2004. Startup is fine but the damn thing never seems to quit gracefully. I always have to force quit it and next time I start it, it rebuilds the cache to my website. It gets quite annoying considering the site I work on is not terribly large ... about 300 pages. It crashes sometimes too. Mostly when I have updated a template that the changes need to be propagated to all the pages.

Tried updating OS X and DW with no success. Looks like I might do a reinstall or open a support ticket with Macromedia.

I just upgraded from DW MX to DW MX 2004, and it works fine for me. Dual 1.8 G5 with 512MB of RAM. Latest version of OSX. Quick startup and smooth quit. I had problems with MX assigning a link to a wrong image before, and I'd have to code it myself or it wouldn't work. We'll see if MX 2004 has this problem...

I have a dual G5 with 4GB RAM and Dreamweaver runs like shit, so if anyone finds a solution to the problem ... let me know.

Powerbook G4 1.25. Time DreamweaverMX startup at 15 seconds. I use it all the time so I guess I would have found any glaring performance problems by now.

15 seconds? Do you consider that good or bad?

Compared to Photoshop, Garageband or my software development environment - very very unquestionably good. Compared to firefox, bbedit or some of the less 'library loading intensive' applications I'd say it sucks donkey balls. If you have an application that loads an ass load of plugins when it starts, its going to take a while.
