Hooking two macs together
The business I work for is purchasing a new Intel Mac and they want to utilize its processing power with the current mac we have now.
The current mac we have is the PowerPc with Tiger OS.
The idea is that I edit a project and then pass it on to the old mac or the new one depending on what would work best so that it can render a project in the timeline or run compressor while I continue to edit on another project. Is that possible? I have looked at connecting the two via firewire and targeting one of the macs. I don't understand if that would be an advantage or not.
Any ideas or pitfalls?
I'm guessing having an older mac and a new one with different operating systems is going to be our first hurdle.
Thanks for any input.
