hi
man, i hope this is in the right place.... Ok, i want to upgrade my computer, & i was thinking of getting a dual 1.42 ppc only because i'm unsure if my UAD card, and other applications would work if i bought a used dual G5. i can only spend about 1200.00 bucks or so & my current computer has been upgraded from a G4/400 to a 1.25 ghz (it use to scream) but as everyone here knows that won't do anymore, so it's time to make a move and this is the best place to get REAL info reguarding mac music. any insight would be greatly valued. thanks. G4 1.25ghz (single) OS 10.4.8 2 megs of ram Mbox protools 7.3LE |

I was just reading an article in Tape Op the other day and one of the producer's interviewed is STILL using an 833mhz G4 & it really killed me the other day to read that Jan Hammer still just uses an old G4 and Opcode Studio Vision with OS9.2. You can still make good music with what you have. Be sure to buy what you really want and need when you need it. Oh yeah.... in the same issue one of the guys who scores for a couple of MTV reality shows actually still uses an 400mhz G4....That was funny.
