I want to build a small studio for myself, and when it comes to all the hardware i need im cool, but .. what do i need in terms of power in the computer? DO i really need a G5 for my music processing using Qbase and protools? What is Dual 2ghz processors in terms to the newest 4.0ghz + or whatever is out there? Will a G4 suffice in power... etc? Any musicians here ? 95'Contour GL 2.5L (JUNKED!) ~~~ [Current Car] 1995 Ford Mustang 5speed [Upcoming Car] 2002 Trans Am WS6 (Black on Black)

So yeah, they're developing an x86 OSX for use on some future Intel processors. The developers version has leaked out and people have been putting them on their PCs... linky Video of OSX running on a Dell laptop Last edited by Kane; 08/31/05 09:22 PM.

Apple will still be pushing IBM chips THROUGH 2007. You probably don't need a dual G5. MANY musicians used G4s with ample success... So, a dual G4 would be plenty of power. --JamesT >--------------< --Chemguru 99 CSVT Frost /Mid. Blue 00 Suzuki SV650 Red, Naked

He had that mini tower for protools, but has recently jumped up to the version with more inputs/outputs with no issues at all. He has a pretty sweet setup with a korg triton, korg karma, MPC4000XL, ect all hooked up through the new protools, and not have to switch from unit to unit. The G4 is plenty good, he just needed the larger external HD to store everything he works on from day to day. 2005 Ford F150 SuperCab FX4 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 1998 CSVT: 354HP/328TQ @ 10 psi, now gone
