The memory can be upgraded pretty easily, getting 512 MB is only
slightly more. 

The hard drive looks like it will be a concern, though. According to
the Macweek report, the disk is a 4200 rpm drive. I'd expect that to
cut the number of tracks of audio that you can work with at a time. 

To use this for music, it might make sense to use internal disk for
the operating system, and get a high-speed firewire drive for your
files.
