I need to replace my old 350 mhz G4 with a newer machine. I'll be working with a lot of processor intensive virtual synths in Cubase SX as well as linking to Reason through Rewire. Naturally, the dual 1.8/2.0 G5 is the best choice as far as processing power. However, I'm on a tight budget--real tight!--and right now, dual G4s run about a thousand dollars less than the G5s. I can certainly put that extra thousand to good use in other studio equipment. Is the Dual G4 enough processor for runnning, say, up to ten soft synths? How obsolete will that be in two years? Is it worth saving the money or going with a more modern machine?
Any advice is appreciated. |

it means, you will need a new PCI audio card unless your going firewiire.
check out the January Issue of Sound on Sound the US/international version. there is a grea 3 page article about the g5 and all the various aspects to consider before making decisions. -------------------- hani
