Hi,
I'm getting ready to buy a new computer for my future studio. After emailing, posting messages in forums, long considerations etc. it looks like I will go in the direction of a PC. Why? I talked to an employee of Apple, and he told me that if I buy a G4 today, I should be ready to sell it when new processors come out at the end of 2003. I wanted to ask Mac users, what do you think about this new, what I think they call "G5" and what is it going to mean for you? Will your current software and recording hardware work with the G5? Also, how is Cubase SX with OSX? Please elnighten me, I might still change my mind and go Mac if it makes sense. Petra |

I just thought I'd inject a little pessimistic note - much as I enjoy enthusiasm in people.
On IBM G5-chips/970-chips in future macs. 1) PC-users switching in droves to Mac - forget it aint gonna happen. ( such decisions are market-driven and has very little to do with technological excellence ) 2) Enormous speedboosts in endusers homecomputers - forget it has never happened yet. ( all available resources for computers/users tend to be used to the max ) 10 years ago when I started my work as sysadmin at our dept we bought 25 brand-new PC:s 486 DX-II machines with 8MB ram 170Mb WD harddrives. They ran Windows 3.11. They were the fastest standard pc:s at the time. In fact they still are today. Usaul everday tasks like starting applications saving documents copying files etc. DONT go any faster 'cause files are bigger, we have fancy graphical interfaces with code-bloat, the list goes on. Higer bandwith networks gets clogged because of higher bandwith demand from users et al. I have personally had Mac SE-30, Powermac 6100, iMac G3-Bondi Blue Rev-B, iMac G4-flatpanel 700 and iMac flatpanel 800. I dont notice any -- real practical -- difference in speed. This said - well we all need to dream and hope a little, - no great harm in that. Keep smiling: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
