Does anyone have any idea how the new imac might measure up speed and track capacity wise, using say Logic Express? Would it be a good or a bad decision to buy a g5 imac loaded up to the gills with ram and a 1.8, or a powermac g5? That's considering the fact you then have to buy display etc. with the PM.

Since this thread has stopped until today, are there any "real-life" experiences with the iMac G5 and music apps (especially Logic Pro)?
This whole thread (and other topics in Agora) all give speculations based on other Mac platforms or point to benchmark tests, but none are giving real experiences with the iMac G5 and music. I wish I had the fastest PowerMac DP G5 tower with a nice big LCD display, but the iMac G5 is simply way cheaper and if it will fit my needs then that's my way to go. Can you believe I'm still stuck with a PowerMac 8600 (604 - pre G3) with Opcode Studio Vision Pro running on Mac OS 9? The music I make is mostly MIDI music, planning to use software synths, with audio recording mostly just for vocals, normally recording a single mic at a time (but totalling around 8 or 10 audio tracks). Logic Pro 6 and the FW Audiophile are already waiting on my desk for the next Mac. Just need to decide if that will be the iMac G5. Thanks  ,Rafi |
