Greetings all!
I've been a PC user for decades, and have always been curious about the mac Audio scene (since everything seems to have spawned there). In the past I had not been able to afford to buy the hardware necessary to setup a mac in my home studio, this, it seems has changed. I have recently acquired a dual G4-5ooMhz, 512Mb RAM. My ST-Audio C-2000 card will transplant into it for audio. My question is, will this system be sufficient for multtrack recording? Please excuse my ignorance, I really have no idea. Any help would be appreciated.... -Me. |

Beware of PC RAM (PC computer), Macs don't like underrated RAM and will behave badly or not even start up if the RAM is not 100% compatible. If the mac is PC-100, you can use PC-100 or PC-133 but look forward it is Mac certified. It'll save you headaches
 there is no such thing as "regular" RAM, there's a lot of types under the generic SDRAM PC-xxx (parity, bits, voltage etc. And 2 RAM boards with the same technical data available may be not exactly rated the same in fact… Always use MAC certified RAM (available from most vendors, and look at their return policies before just in case Now, especially in OSX, the more RAM, the better! -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
