A lot has been said about the lack of expandibility of HD & CD Drives, but the biggest issue for me, and many others in the music industry is the amazing lack of PCI slots.
So many proffessionals/studios that I know are dissapointed with this issue.
Yes, it was great news for all of us when we heard the new G5s were out, but this is a serious issue for the music pros (since powermacs are generally made for pros in the visual and audio industry).
ProTools alone takes up 3 slots, so you're left with nothing else.
More and more, people I talk to are looking to get the now very reasonably priced G4 1.25, and that includes me.
But it upsets me because I'm desperate to get my hands on the G5. Oh well.
What do you guys think of this issue?
Do you think Apple might be bringing some kind of expansion unit?
I think I read somewhere that it was a possibility, although I'd much prefer it if they simply had more slots internally.
