I am planning to get this powerbook G3.
I am in a place where it's expensive to get a new mac. Right now there's 1 secondhand powerbook G3 333 Mhz on sale. I'm thinking of getting it. My question: will it give me a good system to work on ? i'll basically use protools or peak LE, or maybe digital performer. Can i expect much from it ? The system got 160 MB Ram (planning to upgrade) And what external soundcard would you recommend ? please not digidesign/MOTU. i can't afford it right now. p/s: sorry if this was in the wrong thread. i'm studying audio engineering in SAE http://www.saemalaysia.com -------------------- i'm with the 68k Macintosh Liberation Army.
will be a G3/G4 force in the near future! |

How much is it! Well, if you really want a powerbook I would try to get a pismo instead of the lombard. The pismo has a 100mhz bus instead of a 66mhz, faster processor and firewire for a faster external hard drive. I believe it also takes faster rom and its cheaper to uprage these to g4s, I think $299 instead of $399.
