Hello everyone ,
why am I thinking so much about NOT leaving my old G4 PCI 400 in the corner and buying some fancy G5 Dual whatever to make production music ? It must be love... To get to the point: ... for now, I´m planning to upgrade the G4 to 1GHZ (Sonnet Encore) and 1,25 GB RAM , run OS 10.4.x (probably 10.4.9) and install LOGIC 8 Express. Question: do you think - or know - if that´s gonna work? I heard about a possible incompatibility of the computer and the software - too much differences in technology / software reading? Would Logic 7 work ? What worked before was running Logic Pro 6.4 (still under the emagic flag) under OS 9.2 on the G4 400Mhz PCI with 512 RAM - except that plug-ins like Space Designer could not display correctly: still they worked. Well, I would be really glad if someone could help me with the decision...! Many thanks , Milosz |

With that 1ghz upgrade you will have to freeze tracks with virtual instruments and effects.
Money is better spent on a new Mac Mini, vs the upgrade. The new minis are more powerful than the last of Dual G5 Powermacs Apple released. In my opinion staying with PowerPC will lock you out of future OS updates. Leopard drops support for G3 machines, loss of G4 support can't be to away.
