How should I spend my money?
2003-02-03 by Sumit Das
I am running Logic 5.5 on a PowerMac 8500 with a G4 upgrade card. My system needs a boost, and I need some advice on how to spend my limited budget. Of course, I will be upgrading to Logic 6 as soon as it is available. Should I get a new Mac? If so, which one? Or, should I get a UAD-1 and/or PowerCore and get a new mac later? The addon cards will give me a nice boost in audio quality, but what about processing power? Will the card(s) feel as much of a boost as the new mac? I never want to see that message about running out of power again... Of course, there is the freeze feature coming up... Computers get outdated pretty quickly. How about these DSP cards? Will they be outmoded in a year or so? Any opinions or advice appreciated... Thanks a lot, smeet
