I was wondering the same thing.

Yep.

MIDI timing hasn't been a problem with my 800MHz iMac so I don't think that
will be a factor for me.

I'm starting to consider getting a KVM and sharing my PC's keyboard and CRT
with a Dual CPU PowerMac. That would make the cost only slightly higher for
the PowerMac - basically just the cost of the KVM - and might even be a
superior system all the way around because then I'd still have access to
Sonar on my PC. I still have a lot of my older songs on that PC and
importing them into Logic isn't trivial. It is easily 4 hours per song.
That's because of Logics poor multi instrument implementation. I'm sure I'll
get faster at it as time goes on, but it is currently a painful process.
Anyway, I would even have to bother with this setup. I'd just use Logic for
new songs and Sonar if I wanted to work on one of my existing songs.

Could be sweet.
