At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.

This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 14, 2008 Type: User Review Don't waste your money

As an upgrade, this version just does not work. It hogs all the CPU power your system can put out. I wasted alot of man-hours on this version and regret buying it. I recently bought a new Mac Pro with 2 quad core Xeon CPUs, and tried installing...
