i running logic platinum on a G4 duel processor , if I try to play back my seven track audio song i get the error ... CORE AUDIO DISK TOO SLOW OR SYSTEM OVERLOAD ( -10010) I don't have anuthing else running , is it just the internal sound card ? not powerful enough ? I'm a new mac and logic user so eh... help please ....ta
oh yeah ..

Machine Model:Power Mac G4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 500 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz

maybe I should mention that when I load this song I get a 'creating overview for ...." each audio track ,this is the small progress bar window on the top left cornor of my arrange window, followed by a
'read/write does not allow writing Result code -61 ' this happens for each audio track in the song.
many thanks

To add to the original post: If I get overloads, but the 'Disk I/O' meter (system performance) has plenty of room to move, is a quicker HD going to make a difference? It's the 'Audio' meter that maxes out for me when I get the overload message...

In short, no. In you case the amount of processing your CPU is having to do is causing it to MAX out, which has nothing to do with the HD stream which correctly reflects that it is not being taxed as much.

You have 2 options:

1. Purchase a more powerfull machine
2. Utilise more off-line processing, for example if your app is a sequencer like logic pro then freeze more of your tracks.
