I'm planning on buying a dual 1.8 GHz G5, but I can't find a ref anywhere about whether they will run Logic + soft synths etc without an additional sound card.
Do I need an additional sound card? Other than greater I/O capacity, what would an additional sound card allow me to do? If I'm doing all my processing, sequencing and recording inside the G5, is a sound card necessary (other than the increased I/O)? Cheers.

for the moment, there's no sound card optimize for the G5 in a PCI mode. Apple has made its computers with a new splot of PCI , the PCI-X, also called the PCI 2.2. So, for now, the only way to connect a sound card to a G5 is to use the firewire or usb port.
