[G4] What is possible to do with a G4 800Mhz osx10.3.9. and yet keep Logic pro 6.4.1 and Pro Tools 6.2.2./digi001?

[James Asherman]

I don't know what a PowerP is but I have a Quicksilver 2001.
I have a similar deal.
Including the Digi 001. ( perfectly good hardware)
What I have done is install two more hard drives in the system.
The #1 drive runs the latest everything but no pro tools.
#2 drive is reserved for the actual music and video recordings.
#3 drive ( under the optical) runs the 10.3.9 and the protools and  
simlpy requires a 40 second reboot to get to that system. I have also  
upgraded the processor
and the display card and installed a PCI USB 2 card to run all the  
newer appliances.
You can do alot.
