Hi,
I'm a little behind the curve in keeping up with the latest and greatest computer. I have three potential computers to be my main DAW. I was wondering if anyone who knows DAW computers would give me your opinion about which of these three computers would be the best. 1) G5 iMac with 1.8 Ghz processor/20 in screen - 1 GB RAM 2) G5 Tower with 1.6 Ghz processor - 1 GB RAM 3) G4 Tower with Dual 1 Ghz - 2 MB L3 cache per processor - 1.5 GB RAM If I added more memory to any of these, would that make a difference in the deciding factor. I know some can be upgraded. Thanks for your time and input. Sincerely, Ronnie |

YOU DIDNT MENTION WHETHER YOU HAD A PCI AUDIO CARD OR YOU ARE RUNNING JUST A FIREWIRE OR USB INTERFACE, THE G5S I BELIEVE NEED A NEW PCIE CARD TO FUNCTION WITH A TOWER AND SLOTS UNIT, JUST FIREWIRE OR USB 2 YOU COULD RUN THE IMAC OR MINI WITH A BIGGER PROCESSOR AND BOOSTED RAM AND PROBABLY GET AWAY WITH IT....MY MAC PRO DUAL/DUAL CORE SIZZLES BUT HAD TO BUY THE ADDT'L CARDS TO RUN DP 5.12 OR BOMB FACTORY STUFF......LENNY
