I am making the jump from PC to MAC and have a tight budget. I have Cubase and a Yamaha 01v mixer (with fibre optic digital upgrade). I know I want at least 1 Gig RAM, but from a technical AND financial perspective, I don't know what would be better: upgrading a G4 with a soundcard that can handle my mixer, or getting a G5 which can already handle it. So far I've been told that upgrading a G4 would cost almost as much as getting a G5 and I should just pay the extra money and get a G5 with dual drive. Is this true? Money is a serious concern as I am a student, but I also want everything to work properly.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out! Gp |

Eveybody seems to have dropped 2 cents worth so here's mine...
 Which Cubase are you running? The newer stuff DEMANDS a great computer. There's nothing wrong with that, but if it's the case that you have some of the latest processor crunching Cubase software you'll want to go out and get the G5. However, and contrary to alot of what I just read, I use a measly iMac G4 with 768 MB of ram. I'm running Logic on it. It blazes. It really does... then again, I also don't use a lot of soft synths. I just felt like somebody should advocate penny pinching. HA! |
