Logic Express Doesn't Like My G3 Ibook, Logic Express claiming it requires G4! Options

[Dunepilot]

I have just picked up Logic Express 6 so that I can finally stop having to use OS 9 for anything (to ditch Logic Silver 4.8).

However, I'm getting a wierd error on my 800MHz G3 iBook when I launch the application, that says

"CUBE needs Altivec compatible cpu (G4 and up)" and then I have to quit the app.

Logic Express should work with a G3, so what is this 'CUBE' thing referring to? I have an edirol UA-30 USB audio solution (using core audio driver) and an emagic MT4 USB MIDI box that I want to use with Logic. I have a feeling the problem is being caused by the UA-30 in some way, because logic launches okay if I don't have this plugged in (though I get another error telling me I have no audio interface plugged in).

Can anybody shed any light on this?

Thanks in advance

Hello, I'm considering getting Logic Express myself, also for a G3/800 iBook. So first, thanks for clarification. I landed earlier today on a bogus web page at Apple's website, so I was quite worried.

But I still have some questions, so here we go: with my config, I can record without any problem at least 10 audio tracks with MOTU Audiodesk 1.02 (under OS9). I had the opportunity to try DP4.12, and it sometimes complained that my hardware is too slow, even for very small projects (e.g., 4 tracks). Half of the time it even crashed !

Although I understand that OSX is slowlyer than OS9, this seems far too much. Am I right hoping that switching to Logic would be a good idea ? Tired of the dual boot.

Thanks for your help!
