I'm new to this forum, so I just want to say first, hi everyone!
I've been doing alot of reading about the new iMAC G4, with it's 2 firewire ports, 3 USB's and fancy adjustable monitor. It all sounds great, but I'm looking for some real world experience with this system using MOTU 896 w/ADAT sync running Digital Performer. I've worked with PC's and audio for a few years and I'm ready to step over to Macs. I've heard the power of the new iMAC G4 is not as strong as advertised (I read a review that said 32 track limit before plug ins, can this be right? ) Also, noisy fan?
The Dual G4's sound more impressive but they cost double with monitor. Is it worth saving the cash?Any thoughts?........

Hi Sleepy, I am new to this forum as well and while I can't offer you much in the way of real-life/hands-on experience with the g4 imac, I have done some reading on them too. Apparently, they have 5400rpm hard drives and a 100mhz system bus, while the power macs have 7200 rpm hard drives and 133mhz system busses. I am not a computer expert by any means but I understand that these variables can affect a computer's audio performance. The 800mhz single processor g4 powermac might be a good compromise between the imac and the dual processor powermac. I hope this information is useful to you.
P.S. Hello to all other members of this forum...nice place you have here.
