Do I need to get a soundcard for my G5 (to Utilize Reason and DP, Live etc) or can I use the built in soundcard - and is that the "IAC driver" in Mac AudioMidi setup?
Would appreciate a clue�

If you're not going to record any real instruments -- vocals, live guitars, etcetera -- then you will be just fine using the built-in sound in your G5. You can slap a pair of headphones into the headphone jack and reason/live yourself into blissful oblivion.
If you *do* want to record live instruments or vocals, then that's a different story:
You can either:
1. get an audio interface (from Edirol, Digidesign, Tascam, M-Audio, or the like)
or
2. take advantage of the G5's very snazzy lightpipe audio in and buy a nice preamp with lightpipe audio out, and go from there.
Hope this helps.
I don't think you need to worry about the "IAC driver" at this point.
