AMD dual processor nightmare

My new dual processor machine is unstable with Cubase SX and totally unusable with Wavelab 4.0 and Cool Edit Pro. When I try to play a wav file in wavelab 4.0 it turns into a distorted mess after about 3 seconds. Cubase SX will record and play but I get pops and clicks when I bring the Layla console up and down...or make adjustments to the output levels.

Mac has the new G5 that's suppose to blow the _hit out of everything currently on the market nowadays (even current dual processor setups). What would the system bus speed be like? More importantly, how would the performance standup to this new Mac monster.
