I am waiting for the fixes from Native Instrument to start to make some
music using my G5 2x2 using QLSO. For the moment I have not stabilize my
configuration. I have to try to move my swap files onto another volume
because my disk are getting very fragmented. Also the raid software I am
using does not allow to boot from the Raid 0, so for the moment I am using 2
Lacie 250 MB FW 800.

QLSO has still a few problems. (you can find the list of problems on :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qlso )

Using the EXS it is clear you can play huge scores, a 32 track symphony only
uses a few bar in the CPU load bar graph

If you are thinking using Software synth you must go for a G5.

Before I was using my G4 533 MP, it was working great to play midi and audio
tracks, but no softsynth.
