I currently have a mac G5 with two video screens connected, running Logic Pro. Of course there is never enough screen space and I would like to add a third monitor. The two I have are connected to a video card with two identical connectors on the back, no problem there. To add a third monitor, I am assuming I need another video card.

Hello recording gurus. I've decided to re-build my recording studio. I was initially a PC guy and decided to convert to a MAC. Due to financial setbacks, I'm limited to purchase an older mac. I've came across both a G5 dual 2.3 ghz, 250 gb, and 3.5 gb RAM for $180. Seller used the platform for mixing electronica music. He has pro tools and logic preinstalled.

hey i was wondering what people thought i should get. One of the Newer intel imacs the one thats 20" with like a 2.16 processor or one of the older Mac G5s that isn't intel. Im running Cubase 4 and firepod. any opinions?

Im having a -9073 error in PT LE 6.9.2. It says it's about the Hard Drive, it might be too fragmented or too slow. Tha thing is that this problem only happens with ONE particular session, I'm being able to run other sessions with more tracks and plugins without a problem so it's really pissing me off because Im not being able to mix this particular session.

Hi !

I just received my new Mac G5 2.5 w/ 2x1gb sticks, 2- 20" Apple Cinema Displays, Pro Tools 002R, 2 - Glyph Gto50/250 Firewire Hard Drives and a Digi Command 8.

First, I want to say thank you to everyone on this board for helping me troubleshoot many of the questions that i had before i went out and bought my new system.

SO, i would like to share with all of you what i purchased and how well what did or did not work.

ANY LINKS OR INFO WOULD BE GREAT..

But the highest spedd one is dual 2.7- they dropped the middle one to a dual 2.3 instead of the 2.5. they probably figured that if the middle one was 2.5 and the top one 2.7 people would not be willing to shell an extra $500 for it- this is probaly a good time to buy a 2.5 :D

Hi you all,
I am considering upgrading from a G4 to G5 (which one is to be discussed later...), so my Audiomedia III will be have to be dropped except if I chose a G5 1.8.
My questions are, at this time:
1/ which card do you think is the best (rapidity, least latency, sound quality). Within a reasonable price range (200 to 300 $) for a home studio.

I am a newbie, thinking about buying a new iMac G5, for my DAW...but I am unsure about whether or not it will be powerful enough to do everything I want it to. The iMac G5 is only a single processor (as opposed to the Power Mac, which is dual). It also has a slower bus speed (600mhz vs 900).
