Will this Do for Abit - PowerMac G5 Quad

[StratSvante]

Pro tools 8 is a no go, unless you want to deal with the glitches and instabilaty that came with 8.0.1. For that amount of cash though you can't really argue, it's an ok computer, i have a g5 at home and it works fine, but you can't compare it to a new mac, even the mac mini blows it out of the water. And don't use logic 8, logic 9 has better features and improved stability.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll bit the bullet and save abit more money to get a new Mac Pro.

While Logic 9 will run fine on a PPC G5, it is not supported, and he won't be able to use anything past 9.0.2. You will have to look for an early version of Logic 9 on ebay or somewhere like that...
