Are the improvements worth the money for audio?
Specifically: It seems that there are very good graphics improvements (from what were already exceptional), but budgetwise I don't need better graphics, but rather optimal audio functionality. Also, a couple of questions... 1) The Xserve technology that I think all of the new G4's come with seems to be a server based advantage. I am somewhat of a novice. ...Was Apple trying to design a superpower machine for creative people (like me who wants to dedicate my machine to recording music) and therefore assumed that when you are recording that your machine is functioning as a server as opposed to a home computer? 2) Is the Mac® OS X version 10.2 “Jaguar” designed for tasks such as audio recording? Have there been some good reviews on this yet?

on this subject, a very rich friend of mine who owns six protools rigs, two logic rigs, AND a couple of powerbooks with 828's just bought a new dual 1.25 ghz machine. the fan was way noisier than older machines!
 within 24 hours he sent the machine back and swapped it for a dual 1 ghz from the previous range... hey, GREAT to have you back lpm, back to chasing tech problems for you now i'm afraid.
