Recording On Ibook G4, is it enough just for recording? Options

[parubio]

I'm planning to record demos and live performances and now that iBooks come with a G4 and are cheaper than PowerBooks I've considered to buy one. I only need it to record (no more than 16 tracks at a time, normally I'll record 8 tracks), for mixing and editing I'll use a PowerMac G4 1'25GHz I own.

Is an iBook enogh for recording purposes? (Note: I'll use either a Digi002 or a Motu 896, with independent Focusrite pre's)

Thanks a lot.

According to Digidesign's website, the G4 iBooks are approved for use with the Digi 002. You wil need to record to an external Firewire drive, as you would only be able to recors a couple tracks to the internal startup drive before overloading it. I don't know what MOTU says about that machine, but I imagine it presents a very similar load to the iBook, so it would probably work fine with that interface as well.
