i am looking to buy a g4 powermac to run protools on. for the time being i will be using protools free, with a view to purchasing a m box later in the year. my tutor at college told me it's best to get a g4 with 1gig processor. however i have come across someone selling a g4 powermac and it's got 800mhz processor, 512ram 40gighard drive and is running os9 and os10.2. i am under the impression that i need os9 to run certain plug ins- if u know what i mean. i dont really understand about os. the bloke says it boots up in either os9 or os10. will this make a difference as to how it will run?
i'm really confused.......please help me.

well if only 2 inputs doesn't bother you... why not conisder the Mbox (sorry I am PT fan so had to suggest)? With the Mbox and PTLE you should be able to get 32 tracks. Also the pre's on the Mbox are probably a little better than the M-audio... this is just a suggestion but really these days there are so many options
