Okay... so I have to choose between the dual G4 867 mhz/ 512 ram or single 1GHz G4 w/ 512 RAM...
I will be running Cubase SX, Reason 2.0, some plugins w/ a MOTU 828... Is it preferable to go w/ a single processor with more MHz (1G)or a dual w/ a little less (867MHz)? Is this a no-brainer? Thanks for the advice. This forum will provide me with a wealth of information, thanks to you guys... |

Welcome!
 Now on your problem… If you run OS 9, there won't be benefits to take one on the other. really. In OS X, if you're in OS 9 you'll have to go under OS X sooner or later. System uses like the apps all the power that the processor(s) can deliver, and everything benefits of 2 procs instead of one even if it is faster. think of the dual 867 as a mono 1,5 GHz… a bit more efficient. There are other thing to take into consideration like l3 cache, but your choice won't be in these configurations the main problem. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
