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... |

A L3 cache helps the processors to be more efficient (they are working more by not waiting beteween arrivals of data, which is with fast processors the main issue of performances on moderne computers). The helping hand can bring up to 10-20% more "power" available (it's there, but the processors can't use it as it's waiting for data)
Now the recall of Rickenbacker is outrageously right, buy the more powerfull you can afford. Myself i'm still on the top of the range 4 years ago  And I'll change once Apple will release 10 G5 processors 6X PCI monsters btw, uncle remus… there are HUGE french forums (see the little flag  if it better suits you
