Hi everyone,
Does anyone on the list use Garageband? I'm in the process of
deciding what
sort of specs I'll need to be using this effectively - I'm quite
impressed
with this bit of software. I've had a play with a G5 1.8, a G4
Powerbook
12" and 15" and a G4 12" ibook - all of which had 256MB which didn't
seem to
be enough - after programming a few basic tracks, the system informed
me
that it didn't have enough memory to run what I was doing. I don't
have
much hope for my G3 Imac.
You have answered your own question. GarageBand eat RAM. Lots of RAM.
Put a gig in that G5 and it will be a totally different computer.
Apple really shouldn't be selling computers with only 256Megs as thats
just enough to run the system and maybe Mail and Safari at the same
time.
