 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 |

In computers yes, so the best course is:
- if you're a demanding professional and you really make money out of it, to keep on top of the performance, though it means you have lag a few months because you must be sure it works, you get the top of things and change fast. - if either you're not that power hungry and/or you can't justify the price/performance every year, you upgrade by big steps then settle as much as possible on a stabilized platform. You'll have to move from it anyway after 3-5 years. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
