Apple PowerMac G5 2x2 Ghz

Yes, 9 years that I have this machine must be well 11 in all. Of course it has since been replaced by more recent and is only used occasionally, of course with it not total silence (at least we know it is on), of course it not consume a lot of power, but it is always there when needed and when it is being a good Tiger frankly she fears no one, so much so that Apple was forced to prevent access to Snow Leopard to continue to peddle their ordis! Since it does not even know what a computer is expected in this crazy world of geeks ... Maybe make a return trip to the moon for a week-end to impress colleagues at the coffee Monday morning? ... Although today Apple is always good and able to amaze with its new products, G5, G4 as also in his time, was able to bring me the power, flexibility and I was looking for reliability in inbred Mac without ask me if I had got my money for the time responded to my place. With experience, I would do this choice? Honestly I do not see where was the choice ... Well, just a simple reflection on 30 years of use of the Mac with the note at the end: "A little less marketing, please, Mr. Cook. ..

G5 4.5 ghz ram 2X2

Everything has been said.

2 months utlisation, no plant capacity monstrous, the disign and almost no noise.
I was working on pc with a pentium 4 2.4gz and Logic Audio / Cubase SX3, and I spent more time on the computer as music. This solved all my mac to computer problem. In addition I always had a preference for logic, and there with logic 7 I'm in heaven.
in terms of performance, to test: 24 stereo tracks with three effects per track (comp, rev, eq) + 10 track sampler EXS24, 5.6 + MIDI tracks, you can barely half the capacity of the beast .
Moreover, no problem either for installation or logic for the sound card (MOTU 828 MKII) all set in less than 30 seconds.

You will tell me the price ...?
Yes, but after the turn rates of PCs more or less equivalent it remains competitive, with additional guarantees more than excellent (and unwinding on-site assistance for all the pieces and software for three years). Consider also that this machine is so powerful which will not need to move in six months. And if that's not enough, for 2x2.5 obtez the stuff of 8GHz RAM and return to me.

I must admit it takes a little getting used to, from XP to OS X but then: what a pleasure!
I would do this choice without any hesitation.

I use it for a month now (buying the Apple Store), and I must say that I am still amazed by his capacity calculations: the number of Plugg in that one can open is simply amazing mix .... a "current of 30 audio tracks, with an average of 2.5 open Plugg, 75, and the resource prcesseur do not Exceeds 30% ... The synths legacy type ( wavastation) or sample tank with banks have always sounds consquentes do not Exceeds 50%, and yet I ask him .... No, really, it's a great tool, with two assets supplmentaires: the beauty of the machine (but it is subjective ...), and Mac OSX, stability for the moment still not in default (I do not use "crack") .... The most impressive thing to beginners, and even now is the time taken for the calculation of the export mix in cubase .... 3 minutes more are expected, no 20 seconds enough on projects "common" ... I could not afford the MODEL supprieur, but with the dj I'm in the right time for a ..... I put 2gig of ram because 512 of dpart, but are a fair bit .... my objectification may be relative, because I am Macintosh and fifteen years now, but under Windows, I use also , to obtain the same stability you really have a machine SPECIFICATIONS prpare for audio, and the price is comparable to that of any fact my machine, Mac OSX and less .... even when the power is significantly down .... For all computer music, or all the musicians of the computer, I would suggest, in the case of an investment for a new workstation info, look at this machine more prs, the price-performance ratio is very allchant ... No, no nothing, no I have no regrets ....
