Is your G5 dual or single processor? And is the stuttering a 'feature' regardless of size of project? I rarely do anything so large, but I like the sounds so have been considering GPO. Yours and Darcy's posts are causing me to rethink. I'm on Mac G5 1.8, 1GB RAM, can always up the RAM but wonder if I want to with these problems and pay the same price as a PC user minus the sequencer. Any Mac users know of comparable orchestra sounds for similar price?
Thanks,
Bonnie

First thing is to record the file and listen to that. The stuttering is a 'feature' on the Mac side of this program. Apparently, not to be fixed. Even with the a 1.8 the stuttering will happen but not necessarily after being recorded.
I run G5 -1.6- 3 GB ram. Everything stripped, minimized or optimized. Big score long running time and only a few places where I had to simplify the orchestration in order to get a satisfactory performance.
Doesn't mean I'm not pissed tho'

Based on the miserable performance I'm getting on my current setup, I would guess that you would need at least a 1.8 GHz G5 with 1.5 GB of RAM to run Finale and GPO simultaneously without things getting unusably slow. Does that gibe with everyone else's experience?
Is anyone running Fin2005 + GPO on a PowerBook with 1 GB of RAM? The current PowerBooks have similar specs to the Mac mini -- 1.33 to 1.5 GHz G4 with no L3 cache, PC2700 RAM, 167 MHz bus, slow (4200-rpm) hard drive. [The only significant difference is that the PowerBooks all support more than 1 GB or RAM, while the Mini does not.] If so, are you getting acceptable results?
The GPO sample library is great. I'm just hoping I'll actually be able to *use* it on a 1.42 GHz Mac mini with just 1 GHz of RAM. (And god knows I had enough performance issues with Fin2005 already, without introducing this fresh complication... )
