I'm using the VSL Opus on Logic 6.4.2 on a Dual G4 1.25 machine with no problems. The 
bigger string patches eat a lot of overhead, but everything works fine. I would suggest 
trying the Opus before going for the whole enchilada. There's no financial penulty to 
starting small and upgrading, and all those I know who own the full version tell me they 
rarely use any articulations beyond what's in Opus. And these are serious pros scoring TV.
