[QUOTE="AndrewK, post: 142340"] Hi Mattzilla, in terms of audio production, you shouldn't have problems doing it on the imac, but make sure there is an audio in port which I'm 99.9% sure there is, but just in case, check. I don't know of any external sound cards that will work with Mac, which is another reason for the PowerMac since you can add a sound card if you aren't happy with the built in one which is actually really good. If you're looking to actually record anything, I would recommend you get a multichannel firewire box (forget exactly what it's called) which allows you to record multiple sources at the same time and pretty much functions as a sound card. My friend owns one that is made by a company called Edirol and M-Audio makes them too - they're compatible with Garageband too which helps. It can use regular ram as long as it's the right type. I use a PowerMac G5 and it doesn't matter which ram I use as long as it's PC3200 DDR ram. You can also connect it to your Windows network and share files using WiFi. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions [/QUOTE]
