Hello there macmusic people hope you had good weekend
 I was considering puchasing logic pro to use on my ibook G4 (1.2) (786 ram) OX10.3.9. I'll be recording vocals, guitar as well as using apple loops etc. - prob wont use more than 8 vocal tracks, 8 midi. Assistant at mac shop said i would have to upgrade to an intel mac, cos' my ibook wouldnt hack it with current system specs. What do you say. Im not going to be spending any more money on ram, so basically, do i wait to upgrade (which isnt happening for at least 2 years), keep plodding along with garageband, or use logic pro/express?. be interested to hear what you think thanks justnicola |

I've been using a 1Ghz powerbook for a few years with Logic Express, no problems with sessions of 32-48 tracks. I do have to freeze tracks when applying effects during the mixing process.
Recently picked up a dual core mini, it smokes the Powerbook, no need for freezing tracks. Your iBook is not the most powerfull mac, but Logic is the most effecient Mac audio app so you can get a lot done on your machine. Max out the RAM and record to an external 7200rpm firewire drive.
