Hi everyone

My design work is consuming my life and leaving next to no time for production so I'm selling-off a little chunk of my studio on eBay if any of you want to pick up some reasonably priced goodies.

Just got my Quad G5

2.5GHz Quad-core PowerPC G5
8GB DDR533 NON ECC
500GB Serial ATA-7200rpm
Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3

Peak: 30%
Lowest: 27%

Since Live isn't multi-processor aware this result is obviously based on only one of the four cores (2.5 G5)

Thanks again,
Colin

I find this whole situation with Live to be quite distressing. Why is a cutting edge piece of so...

I was simply wondering if Live 5 will simply chew-up a 2.5Ghz process and allow my softsynths to eat i...

Just purchased Live 4 today from my local retailer after reading about the Live 5 upgrade offer A standalone Live 5 manual purchase should definately be an option for us Live 4 -> Live 5 purchasers.
