Hello,
I canot get a Power Mac G5 dual, but I can buy an Imac G5, but, is it good for compose with virtual instruments? Has it the sufficient power?. Other question, I will not recording, only works with virtual instruments: will an audio interface give me more power in a mix situation in my computer? In other words: I dont know if an audio interface like Mbox or Tascam us 122 or Motu 828mkII will help me to get more power to run plugins, mix, etc with an imac g5 running dp 4 or logic express. Thanks, sorry for my english and wait yours comments. |

If you're going for an imac definitely max out the RAM to 2GB. Since I did that I hardly have to do any freezing at all. I have two external FW drives one to run all my samples from and one to store my other related data and I run Logic from the imacs hard drive.
The only minor issues are in the mix and mastering stage when I'm piling the dsp's on, but usually freezing works. I will probably upgrade to a dual soon, and I'm eyeing a QUAD!!!!!  Sometimes limits can improve your music making, as your less likely to pile everything on to a track. when it becomes frustrating.  ..it's time to upgrade!
