I can get one for free at work. It's got 110mghz processor and about 80mb of memory. I use reason a lot and they say the minimum processor speed is 128mghz. I know I can put more memory in but how bout' updating the processor. Does anyone out there use a computer this slow for anything audio? Anyone have price estimates on getting this thing up to snuff. Is it worth it?

I suggest just using the free computer for midi sequencing only and then get yourself a new mac that is as fast as you can afford and use it for audio. As mentioned before... its really not worth the cost of upgrading that machine. If you did upgrade it (ram is more expensive for older computers because not in demand as much plus the cost of a hard drive and CPU really add up)... it would have only cost you a few hundred more to get new computer that would be more reliable and up to date with technology such as USB.
