hi !
i have a old powerbook (G4/500 Mhz / 512 RAM / 8 MB VIDEO Ram)
that is to slow to use it with modul8
in my studio i have this :
PowerMac G4/1 GHz DP (SuperDrive (Mirrored Drive Doors))
Prozessor: - 2 x G4 1 GHz
768 MB RAM
Video-RAM: ATI 9000 Pro (64MB DDR SDRAM)
now i'm thinking about selling my powerMAC to buy me a new powerBOOK to use it with modul8 in the clubs AND (!) to use it in the studio to produce music with logic audio.
i would LOVE to have the powerbook 1,6 GHZ with 128 MB VIDEO Ram and 2 GB of RAM
the problem is that i don't know if the new powerbook will have nearly the same performance as my desktop mac ?!??
or is it slower ?
or even faster because it has more RAM ?
i don't know how to compare the BUS system of both machines and the CACHE ?!?
is it really necessary to put 2 GB of RAM in the new powerbook or will it works fine with only 1 GB ?
2GB is very expensive in the apple store but a friend of mine had a LOT of problems with RAM that he did NOT buy at the apple store for his G5 desktop.
did you had any BAD experiences with RAM that you did not bought at the apple store ?
AND :
do you think it is a good idea to buy the powerbbok NOW or is it better to wait for 4 or 5 months (for NEW powerbooks ? maybe with G5 ??) ?
i'm thinking about this for 3 days now and i'm still very confused what would be the best decision
i'm very curious what YOU think about that !!
thanks in advance for sharing your ideas
