Which Of These Macs Would Make The Best Daw?

Hi,

I'm a little behind the curve in keeping up with the latest and greatest computer. I have three potential computers to be my main DAW. I was wondering if anyone who knows DAW computers would give me your opinion about which of these three computers would be the best.

1) G5 iMac with 1.8 Ghz processor/20 in screen - 1 GB RAM

2) G5 Tower with 1.6 Ghz processor - 1 GB RAM

3) G4 Tower with Dual 1 Ghz - 2 MB L3 cache per processor - 1.5 GB RAM


If I added more memory to any of these, would that make a difference in the deciding factor. I know some can be upgraded.

Thanks for your time and input.

Sincerely,

Ronnie

Mac Not Reading Audio Cds

Greetings!

This is my first posting here at MacMusic.org, and I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum for this question.

I have a Mac 9600 upgraded to a G4/800mhz/592mb ram. Does anyone have a clue as to why this computer will not read audio cds? I would like to be able to rip songs from cds, burn cds in Toast 5.2 Lite, and be able to use them on this computer. I can't use Toast to burn cds, because the computer says all the audio cds are not "initialized". Please help.

I have burned data cds in Toast, and the computer will read them, but not audio.

Anyone able to help?

Thank you very much,

R. Williams
