Does anyone have any idea how the new imac might measure up speed and track capacity wise, using say Logic Express? Would it be a good or a bad decision to buy a g5 imac loaded up to the gills with ram and a 1.8, or a powermac g5? That's considering the fact you then have to buy display etc. with the PM.

You have to decide how much you want to invest and get the best bang for the buck. Do you plan just to do it as a hobby and perhaps help pay for itself. I am at about $30k into my music and video gear. Some of it I wish I did not buy, but got something else.
On another note I want to put together a pc for 3d as I have some 3d shoftware that needs a faster computer. enygma what do you think is importent for me to include. Maya is one of my programs. Ps I have 2 Mac..s and 1 Pc. I definately like Mac. better but XP-pro is good. |
