 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 |

Thanks a lot for your comments, lepetitmartien, you're a wise man...
 Now I'm putting all in my head and trying to make a decission, but I think the best option for me is buy a G5 Dual now (I know what I need in the present and I don't know when apple is going to offer a G5intel with its logical "adaptation-disperation" time / I've read in the spanish forums some people bought a mactel and in a few days they give it back to the shop...) QUOTE (lepetitmartien @ Apr 8 2006, 03:57) i'd see also what people say about PT and quad on the DUC too and the compato page. The Quad is still not proven tested for Digidesign so only users can tell you. Can I ask you a favour? Please can you give me a link to that DUC compato comments about G5 Quad and PT?  Thank you very much again...
