I can get one for free at work. It's got 110mghz processor and about 80mb of memory. I use reason a lot and they say the minimum processor speed is 128mghz. I know I can put more memory in but how bout' updating the processor. Does anyone out there use a computer this slow for anything audio? Anyone have price estimates on getting this thing up to snuff. Is it worth it?

NEVER, never try to upgrade a machine as old as that. there are people out there who will try to sell you upgrade cards and tell you everything to make you by them. don't do it. you would be better of with a windows machine then with a 110mghz upgraded mac. and you can't even consider OS X for somthing less then a G3.
as for prices and compatibility of out-dated machines, go to www.everymac.com. it's all there, even old power computing and umax mac clones. |
