            I have a G4 Dual 450 with 80gig-total internal and 80gig LaCie
fire wire work drive. I use Pro Tools LE w/ lots of Plug in out board
effects. I have Final Cut  Pro(Original Version), 3 RTAS Virtual Synths.
Logic Platinum#4. My G4 has started to slow down. I have 1.25 in RAM that I
have installed. I need more speed and I will buy more firewire drives. I
haven't installed my OSX Jag yet 'cause Pro Tools sessions for my next album
are all on OS9.2.2..........Question for anyone who can help me. Which mac
should I buy that is a Dual G4 and L3 cache. How much can I get away with
'NOT" spending???       Please Help..I'm venturing into DV Filmaking and
want to retain my music Production.
