Hello.
I'm going to sell my G3 Powerbook (333Mhz) and buy a more powerful laptop. The problem is that I can't decide if I should buy a 600Mhz G3 iBook or a 550Mhz G4 Titanium. The Powerbook is just slightly more expensive but the iBook comes with a combo drive... I use Logic Audio Platinum 4.81 and record quite a lot of audio. I want to get the Titanium because it has got a G4 processor but does that really make up for the cheaper price+CDRW?? Thanks, Mikael |

OK, now I'm confused...
In a discusion later on in this forum synthetic said: "So yes the 700mhz ibook can do serious music... I don't see it being to overwhelmed by any app unless you just love to go crazy with the plugs"... So what is exactly a crazy amount of plugins? And is it really a big hassle to counce some tracks from time to time? Sure, its nice you can run an EQ/Compresor for each channel, but I've seen people runnning 32 tracks of audio on a G3 450Mhz and it wouldn't crash before using a fair amount of plugins...They bounced some staff, but its not like the computer would crash- it just wouldn't play the audio...But what about VST's...how many of them can you run at the same time, assuming you havn't got more then 6-12 audio tracks? I appriciate your concern, but I owned a Renault 5 1200cc for a year, and was happy it could take me wherever I wished for as long as I wanted to, so do you think I would be satisfied with a G3 700Mhz ibook, assuming that I can't go beyond $1600 ? Peace...
