I'm Getting A Mac!!! (is This Config Enough?) Options

[pc132]

Hello,

I'm going to order a new mac notebook in a couple of days and I CANNOT WAIT!!! I've been using a PC for most of my life, but I'm starting to get into real serious music production now and need a stable platform.

With that said, I'm eyeing the 800 MHz G4 iBook. It really seems to be at the sweet spot in terms of value.

BUT, I have a question on whether this config would be powerful enough. I'm going to add 528 megs of RAM so it would have a total of 756 (or whatever) .

I'm going to be doing mostly midi sequencing, and maybe up to 5 tracks of audio. I'll probably mix down on the mac, so there may be up to 16 tracks, but that's not that important. What is important is how many VST's I can use. I'll probably just use Reason and Ableton Live.

What kind of performance can I expect in this situation? (16 midi tracks, 4-5 mono audio tracks, Reason and Live all running at the same time) I'm not sure which sequencer I'm going to use, Cubase, Logic or Protools, but I'm not sure if it makes a big difference?

Thanks! I can't wait to order!!!
