Well, this fall I will be heading to Ball State University of Muncie, Indiana, and I have been accepted into the school of music and I am majoring in Music Technology. I really want a Mac since that is their computer of choice down there and seems to be used in many studios. I am really struggling on what I want though. The Dual 1.8Ghz or the 2.0Ghz. I plan on running Digital Performer 4.5 and either Finale 2005 or Sibelius, I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card, and I plan on upgrading to atleast 1GB of ram. Here's what I have come up with... the Dual 1.8Ghz will allow me to save some money since it is $343 cheaper, with everything I want (1GB ram, 160GB SATA, APP, 9600XT.) But the Dual 2.0Ghz will give me 400 more Mhz, 200 more Mhz FSB, more available upgrades including the RAM and the PCI-X. I will save money which I will be able to spend on software, but do you think I will like the Dual 2.0Ghz in the long run? I just need some repsonse.

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz Rev. C, 2.5GB ram, 160GB External HD via FW800, FireBox, Logic Pro 7.1.1.
