Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi List. I'm just finishing setting up full Logic on a new (well  
Certified Reconditioned) 8 core Mac Pro.

I noticed in the Logic manual that a G5 or Intel processor are  
requirements for node machines. I thought when I looked at the specs  
on the Apple site some time ago that my G4 1GHz Powerbook could act as  
a node.

Has Logic 8 changed this requirement?

Having said that we have another couple of machines on our network, a  
Core Duo Mini and a G5 Powermac that could act as Nodes, currently  
only networked wirelessly.

Can anyone recommend the simplest way of networking three machines via  
Ethernet without having to understand the black art of networking??

The Mac Pro does have two Ethernet channels but one will be taken up  
with internet connection (no wireless onboard)

Thanks

Jon

In my experience, you'll need at least G5's connected to the host  
with real gigabit ethernet connections.

I don't think you'll need nodes with an octocore any time soon, btw.

Best,

If I recall G5s were always listed as the minimum
although i remember some users reporting varying
degrees of success using G4s.
