Yes it has happened..... the trusty G4 has finally died. Logic board or perhaps the CPU says the tech man. Ohh the pain.

Could any of you knowledgable and experienced folk offer advise on the best way to go here.

Options that I see are

1. Trade the 001 in on a 002 and buy a new G5 or similar
2. New everything. Logic, Firebox, Mac
3. Secondhand G4 keep the 001
4. Don't spend anything - go to your friends place to record

I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore. Look forward to any advise. I would like to hear from people who have experienced similar and what path they took.

Thanks

The Roy

That's it

Max the RAM to 2 GB, and you're flying smile.gif
Note it'll be noisy by today's standards

The only point I strongly advise you is to use it either in OS 9 or in OS X only, not both and switching. That's the thing that makes them behave crazily.

You'll be able to upgrade the processor later if need be, but by this time, you'll be on macintels. On the drives, it can be made better, but you'll be up and running with this. cool.gif
