hello everyone. I am a new apple user. I have been a PC user for years, and I made the swich about 1 week ago. I always heard that apples were better for audio, so now I get to ee for my self. I came here because I wanted feedback and help from the apple users who are more fimilar with macs. here are my systems specs.
dual 867 mhz g4 1 GB DDR ram 60 GB hard drive motu 828 logic 4.8 os 9.2 I have to use OS 9, because the lac of support for os X drivers and stuff. Any ways, I wass using an AMD 1600 Xp (1.4 ghz) 50 GB HD, logic 5.3, XP PRO 640 DDR ram motu 828 I was finding that when using peak 3 , that it was slower then my PC when importing mp3, or converting wave and AIFF. I was wondering, how can I make my mac fast? it seems to me, as my mac is slower then my PC. The fastest mac now is only a 1.25 GHz, compared to PC GHZ. yes I know abut the GHZ myth, I dont want to get into that, but how fast is my mac, compared to a PC? Do other mac users find their macs slow? I guess maybe I am just use to the speed of my old PC. Is there anyway I can increase the speed of my mac> I have 1 GB DDR ram, that should be more then enough. Anyone have an tips or tricks, or links on how to make my mac faster for audio? thanks in advance. Erick Rouge |

OS9 Doesn't support the two processors in your mac. Very few OS9 applications are able to use them both.
Also, those DDR machines are not supported by OS 9.2.2 (the latest OS9 'standalone') so there no guaranty it will work reliably at all! -------------------- |
