Well to say it "never crashes" is of course nonsense, in fact I saw some 
threads about crashing LAW5s coming along. So yes it works ok for you, but 
then so does Logic 7 for a lot of people (including me).

Nevertheless there is a lot of whining in the group going on, not even stopped 
by the moderators, that would have been more useful if told to Apple instead 
of the users (especially the mails that have a tone like "please fix this! 
Please bring that back!"). Instead people just complain "Apple doesn't listen 
to us! Boohoo!"

Yeah, I hope you don't mind me giving mine. ;o)

Never change a winning team. Only upgrade/change if you need something new.

It works quite nicely on my G4 1GB machine (single processor!),  so I guess 
memory is the way to go. However if you want to go for all the pro goodies 
like lots of space designers and guitar amp pros, then I guess a G5 is really 
the way to go.

But erm.. you're already using L7 then? Well then you can safely check its 
stability for you before you upgrade to a G5?
