Greetings all,
I am looking to purchase a new computer in the next while, and would like some
recommendations on what to emphasize. I am using Logic Gold 6 with OS X, almost entirely with
the EXS24 and sample-instruments. What do I really need the most of here---processor
speed or memory?
Thanks,
D. Wooten

I would start with min. 512MB of RAM. If you're doing mega orchestral type compositions with huge sampled instruments (100MB+ sizes) then get 1 Gig of RAM. You should be just fine running G4 dual processors with fine peformance from EXS-24. This opinion is based on performance specs I've seen other Mac, Logic, EXS_24 users post using dual processors.

I don't think you need to wait for the G5 unless you need the latest. greatest stuff with bugs-to-be-worked-out.

yep... i agree

I run logic 4.8 platinum on a 350mhz G3 with 512mb ram and it does fine most of the time unless I get too many instances of the ESX24 running at once which is usually more than 5 instruments for me.
