 I need some help here, friends!In my homestudio I have a G4 1'25Ghz, 1 processor, 1,75Mb RAM running PROTOOLS 7.0 LE for my new DIGI002. (I record in an external FW800 HD) When my session has a few plugins, problems happen. My MAC just can't hold it all together... I know I need a G5 (Quad if possible.. haha), but... SHALL I BUY IT NOW with the ibm processors or WAIT until they offer a new G5 based in intel processors, and wait everybody (Digidesign, Spectrasonics, etc... ) to upgrade their software ???? PLEASE I NEED YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THANKS A LOT |

At this point, if I were you, I would wait, even if it's frustrating (I know, I had almost the same G4.). Just because I'M not so convinced developers will still bother to develop universal binaries for pre-MacIntel machines for very long. Companies tend to forget about obsolete technologies very fast and move on to the next big thing.
I mean by the time I finish paying for my dual 2.5 G5, I don't know how much new software will still be available for it. I don't really like the idea of always having to buy a new computer especially after paying so much for the G5 I have now. Maybe somebody has a more enlightened opinion on the matter. |
