Get at least 2 gigs of RAM for the G5/Logic combo.

What do I need to know about buying a Mac? Is it really set up right out of
the box? 

Get a 250 GB internal SATA HD with the G5 and use the first partition (less
than 25% of HD space) for audio exclusively, or get a second HD (10,000 rpm
Raptor?). Use partition 2 for system and applications and partition 3 for
data. You should also read up on how OSX.3.5 works - the UNIX thing. It's
different from OS 9

Can I run other programs on it (not while Logic is running) without it

I'm using a MOTU 828 mkii with no problems (latest drivers) and often have
other progs open with Logic (including Web stuff, Indesign, Photoshop, Word
etc). Works much (!!!) better than on my previous G4 Sawtooth 400.

Have fun

Incredible, a blast from the past.
Joe Glymph (the same one, as if there would be more...) was actually my 
old violin teacher!
