Hi,
I'm selling my dual 867 G4 mdd and will get a G5. As I'm not swimming in dollars, I'm thinking of getting the 2X2Ghz G5, with 2 gig ram and two internal drives. I heard that Apple are working on the next g5 with Intel chips, do you know when they're due and if I should wait for these? Thx Jean |

Just to throw my two cents in. I hear nothing but good things about the current batch of dual processor G5s. I would probably wait 6 months (or more) to get one of the MacIntels....Let somebody else suffer through the betas & updates & "hotfixes" (to coin a microsoft phrase). That stuff just gets in the way of what's really important. Making music. If nothing else, try to hang on to that G4 (unless there is some stuff you simply CAN'T do) for a while until all the software & hardware developers are on the same page again.
