I am making the jump from PC to MAC and have a tight budget. I have Cubase and a Yamaha 01v mixer (with fibre optic digital upgrade). I know I want at least 1 Gig RAM, but from a technical AND financial perspective, I don't know what would be better: upgrading a G4 with a soundcard that can handle my mixer, or getting a G5 which can already handle it. So far I've been told that upgrading a G4 would cost almost as much as getting a G5 and I should just pay the extra money and get a G5 with dual drive. Is this true? Money is a serious concern as I am a student, but I also want everything to work properly.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out!

One More Thing

The G5 design is much quieter than the G4 design.

That's an important consideration for people who record and mix in front of their computers.

The G4 is an outrageously loud beast. I've had to scrap recordings because fan noise was unacceptably loud picked up by the mic.
