Heya,
wonder what you guys would answer to my question...

I currently use Logic Pro 6 and ProTools TDM MIX 5.1.1 on a G4, 733, 1G RAM...

I'm still on OS 9.2... can't buy many new great soft instruments and stuff...

A guy I know recomends that I install OS X Tiger on it and uprgade ProTools software... but I'd heard before that my computer is too weak to handle OS X...

Should I look for a faster G4, like dual 867 or a 1.33?

What are your experiences?

Best regards to ya all...

Pete

Tiger runs fine on my other Mac which is only a 400mghz G4
I only use this machine for basic editing so can't ell you how well it will work if you push the track counts up too high.
But it will work
I did keep my os 9.2 and protools 5 going on another drive
nothing to lose by doing that

You should not upgrade to Tiger, unless you want to scrap your MIX-system. The last software update for ProTools MIX is 6.4.1, which is not compatible with Tiger. If you want to go OSX, you have to get Panther. Check it out at digidesign. That situation kinda sucks.

At the studio i have been tracking at, they use a dual 450, and even then after a while, things tend to crash. I just got myself a dual 1Ghz G4, and it runs like a charm...i had Pro Tools open for 7 hours straight once while working with 16 tracks, adding plugins all over the place, editing, tracking live,etc and i had no problems whatsoever. I'd suggest going Dual 1Ghz or greater, you really can't go wrong....and, yes, i use Panther, although i'm considering getting Tiger and going to Pro Tools 7, as soon as all the bugs are worked out!
