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.
