Hi All,
I don't see anything in the archives specifically related to my question, so forgive me if it has already been discussed to death... I'm trying to squeeze the last bit of life out of my S900 and wondering if going from a G3 to a G4 will offer any significant increase in speed. My computer is used almost exclusively for digital audio work, so every little bit of speed helps. I guess I don't know when the system buses will be maxed out. The two primary programs I use, LOGIC and PEAK, are both G4 optimized, so I'd think there would be some improvement - I just don't know if it's $200+ worth... would I be better off spending that money filling the RAM to peak capacity? Current system = XLR8 G3/366, 720 MB RAM, OS9.1 which is very stripped- only necessary control panels/extensions to run LOGIC, PEAK, SOUND HACK, PROTOOLS, DECK, METASYNTH , which isn't too many. While I'm here, is there a hack to make an iPOD work with a non-native Firewire port? My understanding is that the iPOD will only interact with iTUNES on Apple G4s and the S900 will only mount it as a 5GB hard drive. Haven't tried it yet since I didn't think it would work on my Umax but I'd love to hear that it would... Thanks in advance for any advice. Joe. _____________________________________________________________ philipKdick.com - The web site devoted to sci-fi author/philosopher Philip K.
