Hello everybody
I’m about to buy a dual Mac G5 in a Macintosh store. I’m kind of deciding between Mac G5 dual 2.3GHz and 2.7 Ghz So basically this is my first question: Is it worth to pay 500 $ more for 2.7 Ghz.Another word - is there a really big difference between those two types? and if I get the 2.7Ghz - will I be able to use that extra speed? I’ll be running -DP 4.5 - hopefully Pro tools - Ableton live 4.0 -Waves platinum plug- ins - Native instruments komplete 2 -Silver orchestra -BFD drum module -a lot of spectrasonics products (including stylus, trilogy, atmosphere and and libraries like back beats and vocal planet) and couple of other plug-ins Second question is about RAM.I’m getting 1 gig of extra RAM – anyone has experience if this should be enough? I would appreciate any answers Thanks for your time. Milan |

Looks like you have a lot of CPU hungry apps.
If you can afford it, go for the 2.7GHz. Don't forget that the 2.7 has only PCI-X slots that means more extra money. About the RAM, more is always better. I'd go for 2GB for now. |
