Is anyone doing thick, complex sequences (orchestra, band, etc.) on
any flavor of Mac Pro (2, 2.66, or 3 GHz, 4 or 8 cores)? If so, are
you experiencing any hiccups due to lack of computing power?
If possible, please let us know:
1. exact version of Mac Pro you're using;
2. how much RAM you have;
3. if you're using more than one hard drive and, if so, how it's
attached (internal, external, Firewire, etc.);
4. what software (Finale, Digital Performer, etc.) you're using when
you have problems.
I have an ancient Power Mac (G4, 500 MHz) which I would have upgraded
except for all that's happened in the past couple of years: Apple's
switch to Intel processors, software that's still not Intel-ready
(MOTU's Mach5 -- hopefully next month), Finale's problems with EPS
export (I _still_ sometimes boot into OS 9 and use Fin02 because of
this), etc.
TIA.
