Model: PowerBook G4 17"
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz

I've successfully run 60 Tracks of "Audio" without any problems with a 3 or 4 year old G4 PowerBook... Bass, Guitar, Percussion, 10 Tracks for Drums, Brass, Vocals, Strings (Real Ones), Keyboards (Real Ones) Backing and Lead Vocals... I purchased, out of curiosity, GarageBand, I encountered constant crash problems. I've since dumped it, as it took too much Memory... I found GarageBand to be like a novelty toy, I know some swear by GarageBand, but I just cannot imagine making a "Serious" piece of music with it.

BTW Have any "Hit's" have been created with GarageBand?

My Main Thang is a G5 Dual 2 GHz...
