What's the best Mac to Start with?

[Azrael]

So I am getting ready to purchase a MixPlus system and a new Mac. I will be running 32+ tracks often. Should I go with a G4 533MHz Dual Processor (hopeing PT will utilize DP in the next 6 months) or should I go for a 733 MHz or what ever the top of the line is right now. Or what about a 450 DP, I can pick up one of those faily cheap. Anyone running a Mix Plus on a 400 MHz machine or less with 32+ tracks and having any problems?
Thanks!

I run PT 24 (not mix+), 32 voices on a G4 400, 192ram without ANY problem....

Definitely get one of the newer machines, they have 4 PCI slots compared with the earlier 3.

The 733 (when available), for the superdrive. You can make a DVD for the client with your 5.1 mix on it.
