I am running DP4 on a 400mghz, 512mb G3. I know i will need more power and more ram at some point. I can upgrade my cpu to 800mghz and stuff all the ram I can get into the thing, but will this be worth the effort? MOTU couldn't tell me too much about this, and I got the impression that altivec is not necessarily essential to performance. If anyone has any knowledge on this subject, I would certainly appreciate the input. I want to avoid spending a fortune, for now.
thanks

On upgrading your G3:
1) More memory is always a plus. It'll cost you $100 to max out your memory. Do it. 2) You won't necessarily need a processor upgrade. My buddy has a B&W G3/350 and runs DP4. He just did a project running 22 tracks and a bunch of plug-ins with no problem. 3) If you do a processor upgrade, check to see if your software and OS will run with it. |
