I recently purchased an ibook. (G3 900/256MB). I was curious if anyone has experience with running Cubase SX on this system. The minimum specs for Cubase SX seem to suggest a G4. The Emagic software seems to suggest less stringent minimum specs, however for both $$ and compatability with another musician I work with Cubase would be preferable. Any comments are appreciated.
If it matters I'm running OSX 10.2 and plan to use the Motu 828 firewire device in this scenario. Thanks |

The following question and answer below is from the Steinberg knowledgbase and relates to Cubase SX and Cubase SL. I have a G3/700MHz iBook and want to run Cubase SX 2 on it and have been searching to find anyone with a similar setup and the user <someaestudios> here on Macmusic appears to be doing so successfully with a G3/800MHz iBook. Somaestudios does not say if it's SX 1 or SX2 they are using and I believe that SX 2 puts an even greater load on the cpu, especially if you get into using lots of plug-ins, fx etc. I guess I'll need to go ahead and try it. Anyway the Steinberg info:
--- Question: Is my Mac strong enough to run Cubase SX? These are the official system requirements of Cubase SX Mac: Processor: Power Mac G4 RAM: 256 MB (512 MB recommended) Operating System: Mac OS X Version 10.2 or later However, SX will also run properly on Power Macs with a G3 CPU (e.g. iMacs and iBooks). Generally it can be said that a specific Power Mac is suitable for running SX when the global performance of OS X (10.2) is satisfying. A very important factor for the performance of OS X (10.2) is the graphics card. If OS X (10.2) behaves rather slow on your Mac check if the graphics card you're using supports Quartz Extreme, the "composite windowing system" of Mac OS X that has been introduced with Jaguar (10.2). Quartz Extreme's functionality is supported by the following video GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti or any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required. The use of an according graphics card increases the global performance of OS X (10.2) considerably.
