Are the improvements worth the money for audio?

Specifically:

It seems that there are very good graphics improvements (from what were already exceptional), but budgetwise I don't need better graphics, but rather optimal audio functionality.

Also, a couple of questions...

1) The Xserve technology that I think all of the new G4's come with seems to be a server based advantage. I am somewhat of a novice. ...Was Apple trying to design a superpower machine for creative people (like me who wants to dedicate my machine to recording music) and therefore assumed that when you are recording that your machine is functioning as a server as opposed to a home computer?

2) Is the Mac® OS X version 10.2 “Jaguar” designed for tasks such as audio recording? Have there been some good reviews on this yet?

extra power is always useful for audio. wink.gif
dual processing particularly. under osx, certainly.
they have "optimal audio functionality" built in. smile.gif
xserve is indeed a "server based advantage", but watch this space for a few months.
cubase and nuendo. o.k, steinberg, already implement the networking/clustering of computers for audio purposes. it's not even platform specific!
apple have always tried, at least, to design "superpower machines for creative people". laugh.gif
jaguar represents apple's most serious commitment to audio/midi recording etc to date, to the point that they have taken over responsibility for this from their third party developers. rolleyes.gif
i think i answered your queries, other than to say that software support for audio/midi in 10.2 is where the only (temporary) problem actually exists.
