Re: Need good advice for an older setup
Hi Dave PM'd you please keep in mind I'm open on this (just hoping to offset the cost of a Neve plugin I want to buy) thanks.

Re: Need good advice for an older setup
Whatever you decide those G5 PPC PowerMacs are good. I bought the latest generation G5 (that had PCI-express) to get me through the previous transition, and in hindsight I must say it was one of the best decisions ever made.
But now, your biggest struggle is finding plugin installers that work in PPC. You may need a lot of help as it is already +15 year old system.

Re: Need good advice for an older setup
Thanks to all for the education! And thanks to Len for the offer(which seems more than fair). I did order the battery for the G5 and if it boots up, then I will probably take Len up on his offer as it keeps my cost the lowest. Otherwise, given that a G5 stalls me at really old(vs pretty old) software, I am hoping for a way to do a Windows 7 PC if I can get solid advice on a good motherboard that can take the PCIx cards.

Re: Need good advice for an older setup
I can help you with normal software issues, but your biggest trouble will be finding 3rd party plugin installers

Re: Need good advice for an older setup
Appreciate that! That thought is what is pushing me towards a Win7 and PT10 setup as plugins will be easier to get. I'll report back when I have a firm plan, but right now, things are cast in jello...like my brain
