My father in law's only good act since creating my wife...

[AlexHall74]

...So he visits us for new years and after all the usual nauseating hub-bub he tells me that he has a dual processor Mac G4 at his house that he is getting rid of if I don't take it. His company is now using some proprietary PC software and everyone got DELL laptops.

I have been wanting a computer just for music and although everything else I have is PC, this is tempting...

Is the processing power/stability of a Mac dual G4 that much better than a P4 2.66 GHZ w/ 1 GB RAM?

I can't remember the RAM of the Mac, it was low, like 256 MB...

If I do get this Mac, should I go Cubase or Logic?
I am using an old version of Cubasis that came with my Tascam US-428 now so I have not invested any $ in a sequencer.

Has anyone here used both machines that has time to comment?

Thanks in advance!
