I am upgrading my old imac and I wanted to see if anyone could answer a couple questions.
I have been using DP 2.7 and I havent had the luxury of using DP 4 yet.
I wanted to know how much processor power I really need to run Digital Performer 4 with. I want to make sure I can run effects on the audio tracks with out to much slow down.

I was leaning on getting an Emac with a 1.2 ghz processor & 1 Gig of Ram . Should I get something more powerful?

It can do, but more is better (and $$$)

Comfort fro virtual instruments/samplers is higher in ram than that (about 2-2,5 GB) and If DP will run, the ore power you'll have under the hood, the more it'll be seen through the plug-in/VI account.

I'd go more into the desktop G4 direction, espetially the one that can be accelerated, or the DP models.

What's your budget? emacs are ok for office use, but can s…k due to some cache limitations in power hungry apps.
