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 |

You should really have very little problem with what you got on hand already. However you will probably have some issues when you get above 24 stereo tracks (give or take). That's NOT too bad when you think about it really. MOST of my favorite recordings have been made in the 16 to 24 track world anyway.
