Jim Hoyland,
I knew there was a reason I liked you! You really "Do know your stuff" 8 G5's!!!
You be's da Mac Daddy in dis house... I'm going to change my name. Seriously.
I would like to hear the music you are involved with. Sounds like a lot of music is happening in your realm. Wow! Whew! Whoa! Whoop! Wam! Damn!
I'm sitting in front of one machine mixin' and fixin', learnin' and burnin' so I can only imagine what your world must be like musically. Heaven. That's if the music is good, if it's not, then it could be a nightmare. Smile.
I agree with you 100% regarding the G5. I've actually have had die hard PC users say: "My PC could never do all this". Good Sound Cards are a must! I can't remember the last time I had a crash?
Dual G5's are great. If any Member has an opportunity to purchase one do so. The people that are selling G5's are not musicians and don't have any idea of their value and are selling them "Cheap" to upgrade. I saw a G5 for sale in Hamburg for 1,000 Euros!!! I wanted to buy it but don't need it. 1,000 Euros!!!! A "Maxed Out" Dual G5, 1,000 Euros!
Sound On Sound calls the G5 the best music production computer and they are not paid to say so... Mac doesn't even advertise in Sound On Sound. Companies that sell Macs do advertise however.

ok so now that I know i want a dual g5 2.5 machine with 4 gigs of ram. How do i know if one is the slower pcix machine or if it is the faster pci machine? and either way... is this pcix being slower common in them all or just in the one talked about here? Does the one spoke of here have dual 2.0 or 2.5 processors? If the 2.5 dual doesn't have this problem then I am all set to purchase the first one that makes sense financially... if it is common in the 2,5 I need more research.
