[QUOTE="Nef Productions, post: 248092"] I am looking to convert into a mac user because im tired of windows and I am a up and coming producer who does alot of music related stuff and macs are definitly greater for music. But my question was, I have read people having alot of problems with the macbook pro's with music software? Would a macbook pro be a smart buy or should i hold off on getting one for a while? Also until i could afford the macbook pro i was going to stop at my local goodwill computer store and pick up a mac g4 for a cheap price and beef up the memory. I was thinking of trying to get a dual 1ghz g4 and a super drive. Does the ilife on mac g4's still come with garage band? Is the operating system on G4's still pretty up to date? Do macs have updates you can run just like windows update? Also is there a certain kind of memory i have to buy for a g4 and what is the maxium amount of memory that a g4 can handle? Is there a certain type of hard drive that g4's use? and again what is the largest sized hard drive a g4 can handle? 1 more questions.... Since I will most likley be purchasing 1 of theese computers from the goodwill computer store, If it by chance dosnt come with the backup disc or reformat disc or whatever would i need to buy the mac os or is there a way to obtain the backup disc......If they come with backup discs that is. Answers to theese questions will be much appreciated and help me in converting to a mac user [/QUOTE]
