Digi 001 Mac Setup
Hey folks,
I'm thinking about changing my Digi 001 PC setup to Mac, and I've been looking on ebay at the old G4s. What's a decent spec for running the Digi 001 and Pro Tools LE 6.4? Cheers Joe

I'm running my ProTools on a G4 400mhz with 1G memory and 120gb hd with no issues at all. So anything more than that would just be icing on the cake!
Have fun! |

Re: Digi 001 Mac Setup
Get the fastest one you can afford .I recommend the Quicksilver dual 1,or 1.25. or 1.42 I had the G4 400 before and had no problems, except the cpu not handeling enough plug ins. You should be able to get a nice Mac for $ 800-1200

Re: Digi 001 Mac Setup
Ok, cheers for the input.
I also noticed on this page http://www.digidesign.com/compato/osx/001/g4.cfm that it doesn't say anything about 400mhz processors. Does this mean I can't use a 400mhz G4? Cheers Joe

Re: Digi 001 Mac Setup
if i were you i ouldent run ptotools 6.4 with a g4 400 - he is not that powerfull - for handling protools and the os x .... but i might say that i had one 2 years ago - i ten protools 5.2.1 on it and for 3 years he was stable and strong as a rock solid platgorm for recording- the best apple computer i hve ever had hands down.... for the past 2 years i have nothing but trubels with my G4 1.25Mhz - but when it runs protools - in between the crashes he is pretty dame fast

I'm running PT LE 5 on a 466 MHz Digital Audio G4 (an ebay purchase) for about 8 months now, and it is rock solid.
