Does anyone have any idea how the new imac might measure up speed and track capacity wise, using say Logic Express? Would it be a good or a bad decision to buy a g5 imac loaded up to the gills with ram and a 1.8, or a powermac g5? That's considering the fact you then have to buy display etc. with the PM.

I would suggest you consider the upgradeability of what you seek to purchase. I bought an eMac and would rather upgrade the processor than buy a new computer, but the eMac is not yet supported for processor upgrades. So, keep in mind that a computer that you CAN upgrade, may keep it in the game longer, and much cheaper than having to replace the whole thing. This is the problem that I have currently run into. An upgradable Mac may save you big bucks in the long run.
Blessings, Damon |
