Logic 5 Updates For Osx?

I am looking at getting the Logic Big Box based off Logic 5.
It's less than half the price of v6 and has all the plug-in's I am looking for to work off my iBook. It's plenty of firepower!

Any ways, Logic 5 had no OSX support (or so I thought). But eMagic has
released an update for OSX support (secretly it looks)

......am I right in thinking that?

Girl Loop-sequncer

So, in my recent software enlightenments, I have realized that Ableton is a CPU pig. Granted it's a differant beast, you can double your track count on Logic. The issue is plain 'ol optimization, Ableton has failed to understand that a solid percentage of it's (paying) users are rockin Powerbooks. So in the interests of taking full advantage of my half-ghz iBook....

...has anyone played with Girl? It's mac native and a Beta OSX version has come out. I grabbed me up a demo copy.

600mhz Ibook

I am looking at laptops to bring stuff to rehersals. I am really not impressed by the cheasy PC notebooks out there. The hardware can be a joke.

I had an iMac 33mhz and was always struggling with how slow it was. So I'm kinda worried about stepping into the sub-gig world of processors. But am hoping OSX makes up for it.

I plan on using Ableton modestly, as well as some sort of replacment for Fruity Loops to assemble loops.

What can I expect in terms of preformance?

Ibook 466 And Fruity Replacment

i'm in a pretty straight ahead rock band as keyboard/guitar player and i wanna introduce some idm elements to the mix.

so i might get my hands on a clamshell ibook dv. since all my stuff is off pc platform, this may not be the wisest choice. however, i feel like mac is really where i wanna be anyways.

i have been using fruity loops pretty heavily and would like to switch to something for the mac platform that has is simple and familier for organic sample based loop-ology.

what would you suggest....and am i even on the right track?

so many thnxin advance yall!
