Yep, unless you are just DYING in the performance area, which should NOT be the case....keep what you have and save for the next gen.....
For one thing, I was PC and jumped into the macintel arena very quickly. I love it.....but considering how slow (even now) UB's are comming out...and the fact that when they do they do not always work as well as previous versions, I'd wait.

What he said. Vocator, DSP Quattro, Pro 53, plenty of pluggo freebies, Smartelectronix freebies, Spectral Delay, Atmosphere, Trilogy, All of the Gforce line, all my audio oddities like CDXtract which ports just about any sample CD format to any other format are still not UB. All kinds of cool freebies are not UB.eyeknow wrote:Yep, unless you are just DYING in the performance area, which should NOT be the case....keep what you have and save for the next gen.....

I bought a macbook pro off craigslist because I got it for dirt cheap, but if I hadn't gotten it for such a steal, I would stick with the G5 and port audio files to the trashed out old powerbook lying around her for live use.
