I am making the jump from PC to MAC and have a tight budget. I have Cubase and a Yamaha 01v mixer (with fibre optic digital upgrade). I know I want at least 1 Gig RAM, but from a technical AND financial perspective, I don't know what would be better: upgrading a G4 with a soundcard that can handle my mixer, or getting a G5 which can already handle it. So far I've been told that upgrading a G4 would cost almost as much as getting a G5 and I should just pay the extra money and get a G5 with dual drive. Is this true? Money is a serious concern as I am a student, but I also want everything to work properly.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out! Gp |

If you are using SX2 I would keep it on PC.
I moved my SX licence to PC because of SXs poor performance when compared to other Mac DAWs. From my observations SX2 uses 40%-60% more cpu than DP4,or Logic6 when using the same plugs. Wouldn't suggest using it on a single processor machine. Some plugs will not work with multi-processor support enabled, rewire will not work with multi-processing enabled. For more details check out cubase.net
