looking to buy a new computer...mac users only! dammit!

Yep - go with the duel G5. You'll notice the speed difference of the duel processor immediately. I've got a duel G4 at home and blows the doors of the single processor POS I use at work. If you're doing music recording and editing you're gonna need all the horsepower you can get. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I'd agree with the duel G5; you're going to need that processing power.

here's the deal...i want to buy a new mac...just deciding on which one....got the money sitting there....just gotta pick one...i have an imac g4, powerbook 17", and my son has an ibook 15"....i am looking into the imac g5 20" or the dual processor g5's.....i mainly use my computer for a recording studio and secondly the usual....photos, music etc....just torn between the 2,,,

any opinions.....and pc users keep the smart replies to yourself [img]wink.gif[/img]

Dual G5.

iMacs are only good for surfing the web. If you are going to do real work on a Mac stick to the G5s and don't get suckered into the cutesy all-in-one iMac.

Ya know you can put 8 gigs of ram in a G5 right? Add the dual processor and you've got one fast fucking machine... it might even mix your music for you. [img]wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">thanx...that's what i was leaning towards.....but i have to admit...i used to have a full blown studio and for the music i do....mostly remixes....my lil' imac handles it pretty damn well....i have the money reserved for the dual but the price difference is tremendous.....i mean from 2grand for the imac to about 4-5 grand for the dual with a nice size flat screen monitor....
