Miklos,
The countdown has begun, I must take action before the end of the week. I'll have to go with the dual 2.7 immediately since these are important projects, I fear overload problems. But I need some help with a few things:
Let's recapitulate my needs and then can you tell me if my specifications are ok?
1-I want to use in RAM: 80-100 tracks, plus effects.
2-I will be using performance intruments and many articulations.
3-This will be used for major productions, I must minimize set backs.
4-I will be mixing, but not necessarily the final thing.
5-I will always be working with a film track.
6-I will be using the "Complete Orchestral Package" and possibly add a few other things such as Choirs, Exotic percussions.
Is this going to do?
Specifications
Dual 2.7GHz PowerPC G5
4GB DDR400 SDRAM (PC3200) - 4x1GB
250GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm
ATI Radeon 9650 w/256MB DDR SDRAM
Apple Cinema Display (20" flat panel)
16x SuperDrive double-layer (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Apple Keyboard & Apple Mouse - U.S. English
Mac OS X - U.S. English
AppleCare Protection Plan for Power Mac (w/ or w/o Display)
AND WHAT ABOUT:
-Do I need this, or is this an option for the SATA RAID? Fibre Channel PCI-X Card (w/SFP-SFP cable) (I'm confused on this one!)
-Could more GB make a big difference for my needs? 400GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm
-Logic Express preinstalled OR Pro Logic7
Thanks a lot.
