Hi there!

I'll be starting an electronica group with a friend in the near future, and plan on getting a Mac with Apple's Logic Pro. We'll be programing drums, synths, virtual instruments and using the guitar modeling and synths in real time. This sounds like a huge load to process all at once, and was wondering if an iMac would give Logic enough juice. The portability and lower price is making me lean towards the iMac, but if we REALLY REALLY need the power of the dual 2GHz G5s, then so be it.

Any input you guys could give would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

The guess is a 1,5 to 2 multiplier, it depends a lot of the use of the computer. But it's a rule very narrow viewed as other things are at work (bus, drives, ram, OS etc.)
