Hi all!
I'd like to buy any of those interfaces:
M-Audio Audiophile USB
or
M-Audio FireWire 410

Minimal system requirements are G4 667 mhz (FireWire410) and G4 500 mhz (Audiophile).
I use PowerMac G4 400 mhz. Can I hook up any of these interface? Will it run anyway?
Maybe somebody has tried this stuff with G4 400mhz..

thanx in advance

Hello,
It's me again (I hope bringing this topic to end, I don't want to bore)
I found something:

" In order to test the Audiophile’s usefulness with a laptop, and to retry the installation procedure, I did a limited test with an old titanium Powerbook. This configuration is not officially supported: my laptop is a 400 MHz G4, and the minimum requirements for Audiophile on a G4 is 667 MHz. On installing, the installer is a little more forgiving, telling me that only 500 MHz is required. It lets me install it anyway."

So it works... I can start using (half of power) M-Audio card while longing for new Mac.

"If its any consolation, there is always a lot of research involved in getting gear - fixing it to your budget- compatibility issues etc."

That's it!! I shall to keep budget, because Mac-based setup is not the only expense to my music set. I play other equipment too (like bagpipes-cost a lot of money).
I'll think about second hand faster Mac too.

again, thanks to all for advices
