Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hey Guys I just read on the AMD site that they came out with multi core processors. that is 
pretty cool except I am stuck on if I should invest the 2 + G's for a dual G5 or just try to 
deal with what i got now and wait till next year when they come out. I was even thinking 
just getting an imac 2ghz because thay are not that expensive and they are just cool  
computers that would handle working on it. 

what do you guys think? any comments ,sugggestion or advice I would like to hear it.

Well thats AMD. AMD is not IBM or Apple, and this doesnt mean that Apple 
is coming out with dual core CPU's anytime soon. You can wait and see, 
or you can get a really killer machine right now that should last quite 
along time as far as processing power goes.

Well the IBM dual-core topic has been around much longer than a few 
months. And we still havent seen one yet.. Theyre probably very close by 
now I wouldnt doubt it (cant wait for a new Powerbook myself) but people 
shouldnt assume that because AMD and Intel have released cpus, that 
Apple will be releasing them next year.. Apple isnt gonna post a release 
date on anything like that until its ready to come out (good old 30 day 
policy). Users needing more power shouldnt hold off due to rumors 
(especially when were talking about next summer)... The current line of 
G5s alone are so powerful unless you really really need to wait I 
wouldnt do it based on a rumor! Although if they do come out next 
summer, Im gonna be stoked as hell cause that will be about my 4-5 year 
mark on my current system and it'll be upgrade time for me hehe!!

Apple will likely announce dual-core processor machiens sometime this 
year or early next. The new consoles' capabilities probably pushed back 
their timeline a bit, since no existing desktop computer can match the 
raw power of the xbox II or the PS3.

This 'report', as you call it, has been around for years now. It comes 
up every few months or so. Ill believe it when I see it firsthand.

And from what I gather in the article it doesnt mean your mac is going 
to run on an x86 chip. Apple is looking at Intel's consumer line for 
things like the iPod.
