Hello,
I am currently a pc user ,& doing all my jobs with my high-end pc .Those are music creation using Cubase SX, Protools 7 & 8 & Ableton's Live to name a few ,all of those are original paid software,internet ,gaming,and graphics vector 3d or or otherwise. To make this crystal clear i don't really care to switch platform to Mac ,but just have one around to "play" with it.
I always liked the looks of the macs and their style ,so a few days ago ,I was considering getting a Dual 800mhz G4 pc ,but after some search and posts ,I decided not to,and get a Intel Mac ,most probably a mac mini or imac .
However ,I am not ready to spent cash for the imac right now ,and , I have found a Powermac G4 450 thats very very cheap.My question is it it worth it to get this Mac? of course I am not speaking for music creation or 3d graphics creation....but could i use some mac exclusive software with this G4 450Mhz /320 mb RAM / 20GB hdd /zip drive /Mac Os X 10.4.Also adding some memory to this system could make Mac Os x to be somewhat fast on this machine or not slow anyway?
Ironically it happens to have some original software for Mac platform,that came bundled with hardware....for example having Ableton's Live LE for mac is itself a reason to have a mac around.All comments & thoughts are welcome & thanks for taking the time to read this post.
?? well, we'll see
