Is a power Mac G5 fast enough?

I just recently started putting together my studio and wanted to go Mac so I could use Logic. I ended up buying a new Quad PC instead, very fast for working with Cubase, becasue of the cost of the Mac's.
I'm now second guessing my decision after a friend has convinced my that Mac/Logic is the way to go....
So my question is will a Power Mac G5 (1.8-2.4 dual) be fast enough to run Logic without any issues? My setip will be primarily software based...
Thanks guys, it's all new to me! |

I had a G5 dual 2.0 3GB ram for many years and now I own an Intel Quad 2.8 running LP8. Nothing is ever fast enough, nothing will be. With that in mind I still suggest you to go for cubase on a quad PC instead of logic on a G5. G5s are very slow compared to today's standards, you will have less headache on a faster computer if you are mostly software based. While logic is a great host, if you're not used to it there is no reason to buy a slow G5 to run that program. I haven't used Cubase since VST32 days, but I know that there is nothing wrong with Cubase, specially when you run it on a fast Quad PC.
If you are still desperate to run Logic build yourself a hackintosh or ask someone in the know to do it. |

I was thinking of going for the 8 core Mac pro and Logic 8
Would I be able to use my two 21" PC monitors with the Mac?
Am I right in saying that the video card has 2 DVI outs which would connect to my monitors?
Thanks for any help |
