I would like to get my son involved in using GarageBand but need to upgrade his G4 tower first (he's 13). He has my old 450 G4 tower. Does garageband function well with cpu upgrade cards? Any recommendations for brand / speed?
thanks for your thoughts / comments |

The processor upgrades are definatley not worth the cost. the other problem is that most if not all midi/audio interfaces will not run on machines with processor upgrades. (hmmm: will upgrades even work with core midi?)
that being said, are you sure you actually need to upgrade? I run cubase sx 1 on a g4 350mhz. Its not nearly enough power to do any serious multitracking, but for fooling around with audio and virtual instruments away from the studio its fine. |
