Wow! Thanks for all the feedback. Looks like this might be a great little forum. As for upgrading, I think I am going to sit tight for a while. My old g4 dual 800 is working perfectly with OS X 10.3.4 as is Logic 6.4.2. I can load 6 or 7 instances of EWQLSO Gold on Kompakt and still have some room for effects. I rarely have any glitches or crashes. And I have a P4 3.0 Ghz PC with 3 Gigs of RAM sync'd to the Mac. On it, I run both Giga Orchestra and VSTack with Kontakt on it, so it can take a fair bit of the load off of the Mac when necessary. One of the draw backs of my older G4 is its 1.5 Gig RAM limitation. Someone suggested getting 1 gig strips, but I don't think the number of slots is the problem as much as the limitation of the system and bus speed. It says in the manual that 1.5 Gigs is the max for these older G4s. Anyone know different? It will be 6 months to a year before I can afford to upgrade to a dual G5, so I think I will wait and do the Logic upgrade then as well. Hopefully by then they will have most of the bugs worked out!
