Re: Optimun system at the least cost
i do not personally have this setup, but thru the demos and what i have seen here, this should work:
g4 400mhz ($2499) plus monitor
256mb ram (changes often, but approx $500)
*separate SCSI hard drive would always be a big plus, but a lot of people are telling me the ATA's in these new g4's (20 gigs in this model, partitioned for audio) do ok by themselves. For an external SCSI hard drive, you would need a SCSI pci card for the MAC as well (to connect the drive via SCSI!)
this would give you a pretty smokin system to start with the 001. I have seen it used with this exact configuration, and very little crashing. You of course arelimited to the number of plugins you can use by your ram.
