This may be a redundant question (most of them are), but if you are a person who enjoys giving advice on the matter, your help is much appreciated.
Heyo, I have been using an eMac 700 now, for a time, but my software has so out powered my rig, that I am looking into purchasing a G5. But from there, I do not know which of the G5 Towers would be the wisest to purchase. What I would like to do is pile up loads of soft synths in my sequencers, and never fear that my processor is gonna go on a coffee break. I have heard that you can run a large numbers of plug-in’s on even the 1.8 G5, so, with that in mind, would there be a reason I should choose the 2.5 G5 tower instead? The take no chances approach would dictate the 2.5, but would that be over kill? Is there anyone here who has run multiple instances of Reaktor or Tassman, or other mega hungry programs on the 1.8, and felt they would never need any more power than that? And is there a discernible difference in performance between the 1.8, the 2.0, and the 2.5 G5? Thanks for your help. Blessings, Damon

People with little money should upgrade neither OS nor apps, if their setup does what they need. That's why I'm still on OS9 with a G3 ibook600 and 512M ram and protools for recording and working on small sessions with few plugins. Well, the G5 imac 20" and just a tiny weeny little meg of ram would be soooooooo nice  I'll still use the old ibook for recording though The 64bit floor-top computer we built at school in 1968 would be a bit limited nowadays. I don't mean 64 bits in a byte - just 64 bits and that was it
