I have now used NX on a Mac Pro. I judged its suitability on running NX alone and I have to say I am very disappointed. My machine (Exactly as Duncan describes) seems as fast. The seems to be no benefit running NX on a high end Mac. The machine in question also had Photoshop CS2 installed which also ran slower than I expected, it even loaded slower than my 2003 spec PC!
Multicore machines don't perform any better than unicore when running NX, application and operating system need both to be wrtten for such machines.
